Rooster tail behind a Seaclipper 28

This boat is designed for extended coastal cruising or limited offshore passages. It has ample room for two people below and will take a crowd friends on a daysail. The original demountable box beams have been updated to swing-wing akas for trailering or storage. Hull planking is mostly 3/8″ plywood over frames and stringers using epoxy adhesives. A standard sail plan is shown, however many rig conversions are available in the used equipment inventory from surplus suppliers. Expect to spend 10 - 15 months part time to complete. Although this boat is designed for cruising, two boats have been clocked at over 17 knots while reaching in a fresh breeze. Pictures below on left show the raised cabin version of the Seaclipper 28 and are courtesy of Grahame Heffer.
