Porter's Boat Search

[skylark]

I have an old book that has a page about the Sturgeon.  It has an enclosed head and 4 bunks.  Seems to be well laid out.  I would not mind having one.

What's the book?  What does it give for a draft.  Any % amount for ballast?

[skylark]

The book is a Dutch book, Kajuit Zeiljachten tot 7 Meter.  The specifications: LOA 6.72m, Beam 2.28m,
Draft 0.75m, Weight 1650kg, Ballast 600kg, Sail Area 21.3 m2, original price 16,800 fl.

Thanks.  Have a grog.

I wrapped my boat up for the winter and just when I thought I was settled...
there is this interesting boat--a Carlson Cutlass

More about the Cutlass here  http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=228

Looks like the design got great reviews.

And if that isn't enough, what about this one?  6'4" headroom!  But at the cost of a 4'9" draft.  Still, maybe there's a tall Sailfarer with a deep slip....

So I just can't shake the bigger boat thing.  However I sailed a Wayfarer over a hundred times this year. 

Sail on you all
