For those fishing and cruising where seas can
get windy, wet, rough, and cold, our OLYMPIAN 23 is especially for
you. You'll appreciate the protection of an enclosed helm station and
cozy cabin with all the amenities. These include a 3' wide dinette
that forms a 6'+ berth, a 6'3" v-berth with portable toilet
below, galley space, and a helm seat that allows for sitting, standing,
or extra galley space depending on position.
More important to anglers is a spacious and deep (28" min.)
self-bailing cockpit (a second helm station can be provided here
optionally). And if a longer cockpit is desired, you can increase boat
length or shorten the cabin. Plans detail a simple way to vary boat
length between about 21' and 25'.
Whatever your choice, this trailerable hull can take the elements.
Capable of high planing speeds, the full-length hard-chine deep-vee
bottom (18-1/2° at the stern) features lift strakes and chine flats
to deflect spray and pop you up on plane without fuss. Plans detail
inboard (I/O or jet to 1200 lbs.) or single or twin outboards (20"
or 25" shaft lengths).
Build in plywood (1/2" bottom; 3/8" sides) or welded aluminum
(3/16" bottom, 1/8" sides). Full size patterns are used to form
hull backbone members (i.e., frames, stem, transom) - no lofting
required. Hulls are built upside down over this framework. After
longitudinals are sprung around, hull panels are positioned, marked to
shape, cut, and fastened or welded to these to complete the hull. Plans
also include instructions and material listings to assure professional
results.
