Paketi

This single chined centreboard boat, featured in "40 Wooden Boats" was designed for camping and exploration of islands, bays and anchorages. The gaff cutter rig was adopted for character but proportioned to give a good range of options to suit wind change. This design comes with the options of open and/or cuddy cabin plus a traditional or modern cabin (Bermuda rig version). A bilge keel version, with a draft of 0.55m, is also available.
