Designer's Comments

A very heavy displacement double-ended power cruiser based on a much larger William Garden design which he called a “Freighter Yacht”. Intended for modern wooden yacht construction consisting of sheathed strip planking (with or without diagonal veneer layers) on laminated frames with heavy laminated backbone.

Choice of 3 different interior layouts with either 3 or 4 berths and the galley forward or aft. Comfortable pilothouse with 360 degree visibility and raised seat with table. Interior access via sliding doors port and starboard, skylights forward and aft. A very traditional heavy cruiser.
