The Little One that could.
Designed, in collaboration with Steven Woods from Bay State Sail Freight for the general routes. The Design is laid out for sailing in all conditions. A Ketch Rig with Tall main mast and smaller mizzen and a hydrodynamic shaped rudder and keel provide for a versatile sail plan for all conditions and points of sail. A fairly narrow beam for reduced resistance and improved sea motions. Minimized accommodations and semi enclosed deckhouse provide better aerodynamic performance and reduces weather helm. This vessel is designed to CE-A requirements.
