The Stevenson Projects Weekender design is forty years old this year! Inspired by the classic lines of Friendship sloops, but translated to plywood, the Weekender has the looks of a classic era and the light-strong straight-forward simplicity of more modern materials.
This design was inspired by Ross Lillistone’s “Water Rat”. The bow transom was replaced by a pointed stem. Also the internal volume and from there the displacement of the boat were increased by about 20%. Changes were made to the seating arrangement as well.
This boat, with a LOA of 8 mt,develops an internal volume such as to allow 6 crew members a sailing cruise.The hull lines and deck lines are to corner for simplicity of construction, and are harmonized with the hull volume.
Good performance with modest horsepower, a soft and predictable ride. I/O or outboard, 80-200hp.
This 17' x 20" [5.2m x49cm] strip planked kayak is designed for comfort and speed in rough water. With a lot of capacity for gear, it can be used as an efficient expedition vessel while being fast, quick and fun as a day tripper. It will excel at downwind runs.
Here is another little skiff inspired by a Chesapeake Bay working craft.
