| Buildboats.com Review | I have several sets of plans from
Stevenson Projects and they are all the same format. They are
1 or 2 large sheets that are folded. The boats are typically single
chine with slightly rockered flat bottoms with full length keels. The
Circle Skipjack design is a 12' dailsailer with a lanteen rig (think
sunfish). It has a decent size cockpit and seating on the rear
deck. Tiller steering, drop in daggerboard and short bowsprit with
forestay to support the mast. Many have also been built with gaff
rigs and jibs to mimic the boats larger sibling the
Weekender. |
