COBLE DESIGNS &
PLANS |
|
We have 3 designs - the intention is to produce a class of boat going from the first example which is 10' 6" long to a 12'6", 15' and eventually 18' examples. Each set of plans will be drawn up with details for both stitch and tape and clinker/ply construction and each will have a simple rig.

| 9' 4" NORTHUMBRIAN COBLE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This is the smallest
version of our highly successful Northumbrian Coble range of cruising
dinghies. She can sail with 2 crew or row/motor with 3 and has plenty of
reserve buoyancy in her lines—she has the same tumblehome, generous
freeboard and deep forefoot with flared bow sections as her larger
sisters. Construction is simple stitch and tape and uses just 4 sheets of
4, 5 or 6mm plywood. A very pretty little craft for use as a tender, sail
trainer or for pic-nics.
LOA 9’4” (2.85m); Beam 4’2” (1.26m); Approx. wht 73 lbs (33kg).

| NORTHUMBRIAN 10'6" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The concept of the Northumbrian 10'6" came from the need to have a sturdy and very seaworthy small working dinghy which could be rowed, sailed and motored easily and which would weigh no more than 70 lbs or so. She also had to have a striking appearance and on looking around at some of our traditional working craft, l revisited drawings that l had done some while ago of Yorkshire Cobles These Cobles were used for fishing and foying (tending shipping) in the rugged conditions of the NE coast and North Sea. She retains the generous freeboard and high stem of the Yorkshire Cobles along with their shapely well raked transoms, tumblehome and striking reverse sheer line. This 10'6" x 4'3" version will
have a simple lug rig with a centreboard. The first boat went together in around
30 hours - from marking out the hull panels to epoxy coating and cost
approximately £300 using a good quality 5 ply Marine Plywood, Douglas Fir and
WEST epoxies.

| NORTHUMBRIAN 12'6" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The 12'6" version uses a gunter rig and has a beam of 4'11". She uses 6mm (1/4") ply - around 5 sheets and has an approx. weight of 120 lbs. Her high forward freeboard and veed forward sections means that she will throw off water in rough seas. Like her smaller sister, she has tumblehome in her topsides from amidships aft making her easy to row whilst giving a generous waterline beam and stable sections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
