Design 849 Sound One Design


Its somewhat disappointing that we dont have images of every boat in the collection. Heres an example. I like this type of boat a lot: small cruising boat with a small deckhouse with big windows and shallow draft. Perfect for gunkholing and exploring just about anywhere. I think she probably looks a lot like Pelican, design #289. Click here to see an image of her.

I cant tell much about the design. The fact that she is entitled "one-design" tells me its a potential class boat for multiple builds. She was built by the Sound Marine Construction Company of Greenport, Long Island. The year was 1949.

Construction is typical S&S: mahogany planking over oak structure with silicon bronze fasteners.

Heres the general arrangement plan.


Heres a peek at the lines. As always, double click for zoom.
