Longboat 21
This is an extremely economical, safe and seaworthy vessel. Designed when the world was in the grips of oil shortages and the demand for small seaworthy displacement cruiser and fishing boats was at it's peak, this design gained instant acceptance. Still immensely popular after 25 years (as their current resale price reflects) over 500 of this design have been built and are currently in service in all parts of the world from Alaska to Australia and beyond. You can build the Longboat 21 as a Family Cruiser with emphasis on accommodation, or as the Fisherman Version with a clear working deck. The Plans and Full Size Patterns are available for Fibreglass construction in either C-Flex, Airex or Balsa Core Sandwich . The SUPER STUDY PLAN PACKAGE includes a materials list, layouts, plan and profile to scale plus some sheets from the actual full construction drawings. At only $31 plus postage for the study plan package it will allow you to better understand the methods of construction and to ascertain whether you have the skills necessary to complete such a venture. |
