NEW HIGHLANDER 23

At last, a bigger Highlander dayboat - so really a pocket cruiser or small yacht. She has been drawn up for clinker ply construction over a framework of ply girders and bulkheads but the hull planks shapes are also given for her to be built using the stitch and tape method. She is set up with an outboard well and a large cockpit which could take a boom tent—the cabin is big enough for 2 berths and a small galley and Porta Potti WC. Maximum headroom as drawn is 4'5" but she has a size of hull that could take a modified cabin arrangement.

Her centreplate makes her ideal for trailing and gunkholing. The centreplate pivot is on the outside of the hull and the lift is via a tube into the cockpit so that there are no leak problems.

LOA 23’ (7.00m); Beam 8’3” (2.52m); Draft 1’9”/4’10” (0.53/1.49m); Displ. To WL 3749lbs (1700kg); Approx. Weight 2205lbs (1000kg); Ballast 551lbs (250kg); Sail Area 238 sq.ft. (22.15sq.m)

20' KARI 3


A Dutch client asked us to use the original KARI - 2 as a model for a craft not too much longer but capable of having a small cabin area which could take 2 or 3 bunks along with a small cooker and wc. We looked at the original section of the boat and decided that a harder bilge would be required so that she would have more initial stability and greater internal volume. We also increased the beam by 14’’ and carried this much closer to the waterline. This allowed us to use her form stability and to keep ballast to a minimum for easy trailing. The ballast is around 175 kg which will be fine for most estuary sailing, but she has the capability of taking more if required for offshore sailing. The steel centreplate is accommodated below the cabin sole and has it’s pivot outside the hull so that there are no leaks. In this way she is very adaptable and with her outboard well and easily handled gunter rig, she makes an ideal lightweight trailer camping cruiser. The plank shapes are given for simple and quick ply/epoxy construction using 4 planks per side, but if you want to go for clinker/lapstrake construction, we can, as with all our designs, give the computer faired mould shapes. She uses 15 sheets of 9mm, 2 sheets of 12mm and 5 sheets of 4/6mm in her construction. LOD 19’9’’ (6.00m); Beam 6’6’’ (1.95m); Draft 1’6’’/3’7’’ (0.46/1.1m); Sail Area 176 sq.ft (16.4 sq.m); Approx. wht 1265 lbs (575 kg). Details are included for clinker/ply construction and an alternative lug rig. The example below is a strip/veneered version by Aquiles Rosner.
