Design 2412 120 LOA Pilothouse Ketch

This set of preliminary drawings for a fairly typical motorsailer was done on speculation in 1981.  I like the simplicity of the profile.  The boat was designed to be built of steel.

Here is the general arrangement plan.  There are a few interesting features such as the navigation room in the wheelhouse.

Preliminary Design 60 Classic Ketch

Heres a typical "first pass" preliminary package we developed for a client seeking a classic looking cruising ketch. Two alternate general arrangements were developed.

This boat could be built in wood, fiberglass or aluminum depending on the owners preference (and pricing). An alternate profile was also developed. Click here to have a look.

Design 2400 73 Cruising Ketch

Heres a nice looking ketch that is pretty old school for 1980 but a nice looking cruising boat nonetheless. Shes a lot of boat with four cabins plus crew in 73 overall.  The design was never taken beyond this very preliminary stage.
