Based on our popular CORONADO deep-v hull design,
NORWESTER is a practical trailerable boat configured
for foul weather and rough seas. With an emphasis on
practicality, the cabin has full headroom and an inside helm
to assure a roomy, warm, dry, and protected environment for
passengers and skipper. The forward-raked windshield commonly
associated with commercial boats improves visibility while
minimizing glare and heat radiation.
Two or three can sleep on the v-berth forward, and
theres an enclosed head plus space for a galley or
hanging locker. Or you can rearrange the interior to suit
your needs. A gang of anglers will find plenty of room in the
11' long self-draining cockpit. Power can be single or
twin outboards (25" long shaft for singles; 20" or
25" for twins), or I/O units to 1300 lbs.
Construction is easy with our FULL-SIZE PATTERNS for the
seven frames. These are combined with longitudinal stringers
to further reinforce the rugged ½" bottom and
" sides. Or build in welded aluminum using 3/16"
bottom and " sides. Methods are given for varying boat
length from about 23' to 28'. Plans include
instructions, material list, and fastening schedule (wood
plans).
