Wayfarer or similar outboard launch

[don ruperto]

I am looking for plans for an ouboard launch about 25ft with cockpit, bow cabin, head and galley. I think the Wayfarer falls into this category.
Thanks Rupert

Naww, it is more like sixteen feet long - quite seaworthy though...

Paul Gartside & Karl Stambaugh have such designs. Tom Lathrop's Bluejacket is a bit smaller but might work for you. GOOGLE knows the way.

Maybe Doug Hylan's Top Hat?

Also look at Karl Stambaugh's Redwing series--there's a 26 footer, though it's not exactly a launch. www.cmdboats.com (http://www.cmdboats.com)

PS What's a Wayfarer?

16' Ian Proctor designed sloop. Actively raced. Actively cruised. Probably the boat responsible for reviving the whole notion of "beach cruising". The Dye's sailed one all over Europe and North America. GOOGLE up the North American Wayfarer Association. Those folks have a blast taking their boats cruising.

Paul Gartside, 24' "Wayward", OB, trailerable.

I'm confused. How is a 16foot sailboat in the same category as a 25ft outboard launch?

Gartside's Wayward is marvelous--hadn't seen it before. Maybe don typed Wayfarer but meant Wayward?

There's also Sam Devlin's 25ft version of his Surf Scoter.

I'm sure there are boats called Wayfarer other than the Ian Proctor one.

25' outboard powered cuddy cruiser.... A category second only to "daysailor" in terms of sheer number of designs. Antonio Dias' Tautog is worth consideration, I think.

(If his website weren't under reconstruction, I'd post an image)

I think his Designer & Client book has a section on the design.

Don't forget Tom Lathrop's Bluejacket (http://www.messing-about.com/smallboats/bluejacket.html)! Great 24' cruiser.
