Extended coastal cruising in coastal waters is comfortable in the Seaclipper 24 design. It is available in two versions, Daysailer (with cuddy cabin) or Micro Cruiser (with full cabin). Simple ¼″ plywood construction with epoxy adhesives is standard. Flat beam, swing-wing akas reduce the 16′ beam to trailerable width. The hull is light-enough to be towed behind a pickup truck. Used Hobie Cat 18, or other appropriate-sized rigging will reduce cost. Expect to spend about about 6 to 8 months part-time effort to complete. These photographs are courtesy of Lenny Hurrell.
