These designs are intended for living aboard and extended cruising offshore. The twin cabin arrangement allows privacy for two couples. The main cabin features galley, dinette, and head facilities. Other arrangements are possible. The slide-in akas (cross-beams) allow advanced stage construction of individual hulls before final joining of all three hulls together. Most amateur builders will take about 24 to 36 months to complete the SC38.Add about 20% more time for the SC41. This Seaclipper 41 was built by John Heltzell. Image courtesy of Ethan Windall.
