#5738--SEVENTEEN-FOOT KNOCKABOUT
by Edson I. Schock
LOA 17', 6' 2", SAIL AREA 158 SQ. FT.
Race it, teach the kids to sail, or just knock about in it. Construction is easy—you can make up the pieces in your basement and put them together in your back yard. You’ll have a lot of fun building it, too

This is a family sailboat. She is roomy but not tubby, safe to let the youngsters sail, but not slow. In fact, she will give a good account of herself in racing if well sailed. The shape of the hull is worked out to make her easy to build, using either plywood or conventional planking. She can be carried about on a trailer.
