Ted Brewer Yacht Design

This yacht was designed for an owner who required a fast auxiliary cutter suited for extended cruising with a small crew. The center cockpit layout is a favourite for tropical waters.

The comfortable owner's cabin is aft and three guests can be guests can be accommodated in a roomy forward cabin plus a single berth midship cabin. It is possible, of course, to modify the mail saloon to include pilot berths or a convertible dinette if desired. There is good stowage throughout including a large forepeak, twin lazarettes and an unusual aft locker designed to accept a rigid bottom inflatable dinghy.

Construction is of aluminum with widely spaced athwartship frames and closely spaced longitudinals. The hull is of fully developed shape, not the radius bilge form often seen in metal yachts. The rudder is carried on a stout skeg with the propeller protected in an aperture instead of the spade rudder and exposed prop and shaft usually seen on yachts of this type. This gives additional directional stability, a stronger rudder, and a rudder less prone to stalling and loss of control when spun hard over in an emergency.

The rig is that of a strong double spreader cutter. Running backstays can be set up to provide extra support in heavy weather and to keep the staysail stay taut. Sail area is generous but not overpowering as the long waterline hull, with its low displacement/length ratio, will be easily driven.
