    would appreciate some ideas or input for an idea thats in its very early stages right now-
    what designs are out there- to build- for a 20 to 30' sail boat, but still set up to row- when needed- no motor!
    good sea keeper!
    small low profile cuddy possibly, or the option to build some rudimentary accommodations.
    2 row stations, in a larger open cockpit. single or twin master

    would like to build glass over foam core- but i suppose there is some degree of interchangeability in build processes!

    you fellas always have so much knowledgeable insight- lets see what you come up with :)

    i kinda like the look of this- with a small house on it

    quote
    "Most East Coast Cobles were of clinker (lapstrake) construction but a few were carvel and the 27’ Northumbrian Coble emulates one of these by using modern strip planked construction. I have not attempted to ‘modernize’ the concept too much and so have gone for the traditional deep forefoot, well angled rudder and twin ‘drafts’ (skegs) to help keep her to windward under sail and ‘grip’ the water. She is essentially a large open working boat with moveable seating set up mainly for rowing but with and an optional outboard well and a traditional standing lug rig.

    Although not shown at present, we can produce the moulds and jig details for a clinker version, if that is preferred.

    27' Northumbrian Coble Particulars

    what do you guys think of the design?
    sea keeping abilities etc

    NEW HIGHLANDER 23

    Below is a nice example by Jonathan Jones.

    At last, a bigger Highlander dayboat - so really a pocket cruiser or small yacht. She has been drawn up for clinker ply construction over a framework of ply girders and bulkheads but the hull planks shapes are also given for her to be built using the stitch and tape method. She is set up with an outboard well and a large cockpit which could take a boom tent—the cabin is big enough for 2 berths and a small galley and Porta Potti WC. Maximum headroom as drawn is 4'5" but she has a size of hull that could take a modified cabin arrangement.

    Her centreplate makes her ideal for trailing and gunkholing. The centreplate pivot is on the outside of the hull and the lift is via a tube into the cockpit so that there are no leak problems.

    LOA 23’ (7.00m); Beam 8’3” (2.52m); Draft 1’9”/4’10” (0.53/1.49m); Displ. To WL 3749lbs (1700kg); Approx. Weight 2205lbs (1000kg); Ballast 551lbs (250kg); Sail Area 238 sq.ft. (22.15sq.m)

    Meets your SOR.

    Norwegians build these things anywhere from 15 feet to 50. They don't have motors. They do have sails and oars.

    They take them out surfing for fun in full-on Arctic gales. Yes, really. They think such behaviour is perfectly normal.

    Traditional aft cabin.

    As many rowing stations as you like, depending on length of boat. :)

    you know... there is something about those boats... pretty cool!!!
    so now the very low freeboard midships, is that to make the rowing easier- other than that, what is the purpose, and how does that effect the boats sea keeping?
    decks always awash in rough weather?

    Yes, the low freeboard is for rowing. They have washboards that can be set above the sheer when sailing in rough water, to effectively raise the sheer height on the lee side. They have vertical supports behind the washboards, that socket into the standard framing of the boat. You can see these in some pictures of these boats. Check this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oasoergaard/3707760020/in/photostream/

    The sea keeping is fine if they are handled properly. They are built from the same tradition as the ships that sailed across the Atlantic a thousand years ago. Where these boats sail, you cannot afford to screw around with bad seakeeping. It will kill you.

    The boats do not have watertight decks, so rely on keeping the stuff on the outside. Ergo washboards.

    If you want to know more about them, the general type is known as "Nordlandsbåt", which if course simply means "North Lands boat". The famous small ones, with two rowing stations, are called "færing". The really big ones are "fembøring".

    If you do some searching you'll be able to find quite a bit of information on them, although Google Translate or similar services can be useful since a lot of the good info is in Norwegian.

    Example: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordlandsbåt :D

    Why not buy an existing 24' ocean rowing boat and install a rig and centreboard? Plenty of cheap, proven donors around these days.

    That's not a bad idea either.

    I have no idea. I was browsing a few years ago... for Wallpaper pictures I think and found them. I expect NoEyeDeer could tell you more that I could about them.

    Why not a Bolger Birdwatcher?

    It's right in your size range.

    What about the "good seakeeper" part of the SOR? That doesn't really describe a Birdwatcher, IMO.
