GENERAL DESCRIPTION, HULL AND
DECK GEOMETRY:
As shown in the attached renderings, the deck geometry includes
twin steering stations located far aft for the ideal helm location.
Each helm station is provided with a 36" Edson or similar steering
wheel and cable and quadrant steering system, coupled so that the
turn of the port wheel turns the starboard wheel. A 1" diameter
stainless steel grab rail is located adjacent to the steering and
compass binnacle. Appropriate instruments provided by Tack Tick
or similar is to be mounted to the grab rails. The main cockpit
resides just forward of the steering stations. A folding leaf table
is to be provided in the center of the main cockpit well. The configuration
of this table is yet to be determined. The main cockpit leads forward
by means of two steps onto the bridge deck. The bridge deck is protected
by the coaming formed by the extension of the raised saloon deck
house. The mainsheet is to be let in flush to the bridge deck as
shown. The raised saloon deck house features a sliding companionway
hatch on the centerline with two Lewmar hatches forward to provide
light and ventilation to the raised saloon. A curvaceous coaming
extends from port to starboard and over the companionway hatch keeper
so as to provide location for a folding dodger. The forward face
of the raised saloon deck house is comprised of a windshield that
also sweeps port and starboard to form the side windows as shown.
Of note is the fact that this windshield and side window geometry
is developable and therefore neither expensive nor complex to build.
The foredeck house is low and disappears into the forward portion
of the main working deck. Located on the foredeck house are four
Lewmar hatches. At the forward end of the foredeck house is located
a trapezoidal Lewmar hatch. At the stem of the yacht is located
a Lewmar capstan/chain gypsy windlass, stainless steel skid plate
and anchor sprit. The deck geometry throughout provides a minimum
of 6' 4" and a maximum of 6' 6" throughout the interior
of the yacht. The hull form is of moderate displacement and created
to provide the best possible overall performance given the cruising
nature of the yacht. Following this document is a two page hydrostatic
study of the hull. The transom surface is compound in nature and
provides an opening to the helm cockpit. Further design development
contemplates the inclusion of steps in the transom that would lead
to a platform near the low point of the transom.
INTERIOR
While the interior arrangement remains at this time a work in progress,
it is contemplated that both a three cabin and a two cabin a arrangement
will be provided. A three cabin arrangement would include an owner's
cabin aft with separate head and shower, hanging lockers and drawers.
The berth is to be configured as large as possible with minimum
dimensions describing a "Queen" sized bed. Also considered
is a vanity with desk and chair in the owner's stateroom. Leading
forward from the owners stateroom is to be the raised saloon. The
raised saloon is to include a raised dinette to port and hanging
locker, electrical distribution panel and navigation station to
starboard. Leading forward from the raised saloon is to be located
the galley to port and a breakfast dinette to starboard. The breakfast
dinette may be configured for occasional sleeping or for off-watch
use. Leading forward from the galley/breakfast dinette is either
one or two guest cabins. Forward of the guest cabins is either one
or two head facilities with showers. Forward of the forward head
facilities is to reside sail storage and anchor chain and rode storage.
The style of the interior joinery is to be contemporary and elegant
in keeping with the style of the exterior of the yacht. This architect
welcomes the opportunity to create new, fresh and striking detailing
to the general flavor of the interior.

KEEL AND RUDDER CONSTRUCTION AND GEOMETRY
There are to be a variety of keel configurations offered. All shall
be cast of iron or lead depending upon the specific geometry. A
7' 6" moderate draft bulb keel is shown in the attached renderings
of the yacht. Other keel configurations are to include a 5' 10"
shoal draft cast lead bulb keel, a 6' 9" cast lead wing keel,
a 7' 6" cast lead keel and an 8' 6" cast iron keel. All
keel variants include a monolithic key cast into the upper or root
chord face. This key is to mate with a matching key-way molded into
the longitudinal structure. In this fashion, all keel variants will
be properly placed and attached to the hull in the same way. The
rudder is to be of a balanced spade configuration and to be constructed
of polyester resin reinforced fiberglass with a low density foam
core. The rudder is to be reinforced by means of a stainless steel
matrix welded to the stainless steel rudder post. The rudder post
is to reside within Tides or similar self-aligning rudder bearings.
The steering system is to be comprised of twin steering stations
as illustrated in the attached renderings of the yacht and to utilize
a cable and quadrant system provided by Edson or similar. All steering
machinery resides aft of the aft structural bulkhead. The following
rendering illustrates a rudder and post geometry similar to that
intended for the deep draft keel and rudder variant.
MAST AND RIGGING
The mast and boom are to be constructed of anodized 6061 T6 aluminum.
The rig is to be of a three spreader with intermediate, upper and
lower shroud configuration. All standing rigging is to be die-formed
1x19 wire rope. Jib furling is to be included and supplied by Harken,
Schaefer or similar. In-boom mainsail furling is to be offered optionally.
A removable inner forestay is to be provided such that it may reside
when not in use attached to the mast collar. All halyards, the main
sheet, and topping lift are to exit the mast and lead through deck
organizers to the after portion of the raised saloon deck house.
There is to be provided deck lighting located on the underside of
the lower spreaders. A tri-color running light is to be located
on the top of the mast crane. The following are to be included:
a spinnaker pole and associated running rigging, port and starboard
flag halyards, a rigid boom vang, turnbuckle boots, a tie rod between
the mast collar and mast step, an adjustable mast step, double backstays;
one insulated for use as a SSB antenna, and a Windex wind direction
indicator.
