THE BIG SCOW

This variant of the scow design has been prepared for someone who wants a scow, but bigger, for cruising.

See plan and profile drawing

See sailplan

This really is just a standard scow scaled up by 1.33! This means it is too wide to make out of a single sheet of ply, so the hull design may change a bit (I haven't got there yet). I suspect it will have to become a shallow vee-bottom.

The inefficient lug sail is replaced with a gunter. This moves the mast forward a bit, which is good for accommodating the crew.
