Review of Brief

THE BOAT:

  • is for cruising safely in coastal areas normally displaying settled conditions. This implies some attention to both shoal ability and seaworthiness.

  • must use sail as its primary motive power.

  • must be legally trailerable behind a family car. Design to your local laws or max beam 2.5m, up to you. Launch and retrieval should be easy for two people.

  • must be capable of acting as a basic home to 2 adults for up to a week. Cabins, cuddies, boom tents, beaching and shore camping, or combinations of these are all acceptable.

  • must be home buildable with normal DIY hand/ power tools …materials & construction methods are open.

  • must cost under $US10k or equivalent, including trailer which, along with items providing motive power, may be second hand. All other material/fittings to be new.
