Designed by C. A. Nedwidek
Complete plans and specifications for the construction of a typical and popular craft among new england fishermen.
Broadbill has been designed for the Yachtsman who has had a taste of that sport of sports, Swordfishing, and who now wants to try his skill with his own boat. In size and type she is typical of the boats fishing out of Block Island. The layout is slightly different in that the motor has not been put in the cabin but occupies the space generally used for hold space. The cabin is small but ample, having two hinged pipe berths, Shipmate stove, sink, ice box, and toilet. Also, a clothes locker at the forward end with the rope locker in the bow. A small pilot house over the companionway with steering wheel, and compass shelf, provides protection for the helmsman in bad weather. The fish well is aft of the motor with a flush hatch on deck. The 100 horsepower motor will give Broadbill a little more speed than the average boat of her size and type and the 220 gallons of gas will give her ample cruising radius. The construction has been kept simple and the amateur should not find any great difficulty in building her.
