Background Information

Harry is named after Harry (Chack-Chack) Roberts who had begun to design a similar vessel for himself when in his nineties. The design was published in Pacific Yachting February 1986.

From the Design Review

Pacific Yachting 1986

“Where the design does shine is in providing comfortable accommodations for 2 in a hull that draws just 15 inches. A boat like Harry would be ideal for leisurely coastal cruising, especially the lower reaches of Puget Sound, where many attractive bays get very shallow. ”
