She is a big hull with very small accommodation; actually the owner will use her as a day boat though there's just enough space in the foc'sl for a vee berth with toilet under. The pilot house will have one seat and the smallest woodstove available. She'll also have a dry stack exhaust and keel cooling for simplicity and reliability.

Designer's Comments

The Ring Netter is a commission that is in very early stages of development right now. The owner/builder is planning strip plank construction over temporary molds with fairly heavy glass sheathing outside. Decks will be plywood over laminated beams and the inside of the bulwark and deck will all be glass sheathed for toughness. She is a big hull with very small accommodation; actually the owner will use her as a day boat though there's just enough space in the foc'sl for a vee berth with toilet under. The pilot house will have one seat and the smallest woodstove available. She'll also have a dry stack exhaust and keel cooling for simplicity and reliability.
