| POCKET CRUISER |
 |
| After I learned the hard way that old fat men with stiff knees don't belong in small boats that are tender. I decided to build the "Pocket Cruiser" by the Stevenson's so I would have a safe and stable boat to sail. I made the decision to increase the boats dementions by 12% after consulting with several members of the BYYB that own Pocket Cruisers. With several other real good Pocket Cruiser web sites available that go into great detail on the construction of the boat, all I will try and show here are the changes that I made to make this boat fit my needs. |
| The Pocket Cruiser has a Cat-boat style hull that is only 14' on deck, but has a 6' 9" beam and a fairly high cabin which provides a lot of interior space in such a small boat. This also makes for a very stable boat, with lots of payload for more family action. The Pocket Cruisers beam can really handle the breezes, and when it pipes up, she'll fly along barely heeled over. The Pocket Cruiser can also double as a motor launch with the rig removed. L.O.A.:17'6" L.O.D.:14' BEAM:6'9" SAIL AREA: 137SQ.FT. WEIGHT 550LBS.
