An interesting design and specifications for a smart little sailing craft.
The accompanying plans are for a 17-foot fast sloop that in grace and beauty is the equal of any. A trial boat has been built from the design. This boat has been the victor in every race in her size in Jamaica say, and has proven very seaworthy. The only modifications from the original design has been to change the sailing rig to the Marconi type. The construction of a round sided boat of this type is considerably more difficult than a flat bottom boat, but is within the scope of an amateur builder who is skilled in the use of woodworking tools, and knows something of the art of boatbuilding.
