LIVE ABOARD cruising on a BUDGET

C-C 31 Retry

A very roomy boat with many of its features shown here, but there are more available.

A double aft cabin complete with a good size vanity, shower and tlt. area that has a proper door on it. (It is private.) The centre cockpit hides behind the saloon cabin and spans the full width of the boat. The motor is a four stroke outboard raised vertically in a box that fairs into the hull surface when in the up position. The galley is huge for a 31 footer with 6’ 9” of headroom and has an equally large dinette (Converts to a double bunk.) and another double bunk in the bows.

These designs are available with several rig variations, as examples the above is intended for areas where conditions vary from flat calms, then with everything up she a large sail area to wetted surface ratio, the wind comes in, this rig can be progressively reduced by just dousing one sail after another. Each sail is only as big as a wind surfers main.

The one below was developed for use on Proas that have special needs. The result is a very light rig that is easy to handle and is ideal for single hander’s. There are many more like three Cat Ketches with free standing unstayed masts, one of these has prestressed fully battened sails or soft sails with a minimum number of short battens, there is even a Gunter rig.

The main dimensions are set out below.

ANOTHER ADDITION

TO THE C-C 31 Range Of Aft Cabin

Cruising Yachts

C-C 31 Trailable Centreboard Yacht

This is an interesting and exciting every man's FUN Yacht. She can be built from cedar strip plank (W.E.S.T.System) or Compu-Craft Easy-Build KIT method. A very quick and cost effective way to build a boat.

This variation of the C-C 31 has been modified to meet the road regs. for trailer boats in England where it is legal to tow boats up to 2.9m (9 ft. 6 ins.) wide.

Several other changes have also taken place – The increase of internal volume has produced room for – A head in the saloon cabin, larger dble. Bunk in the aft cab., headroom has been increased particularly in the aft cab. The saloon cabin houses the biggest galley ever seen on a 31 footer, a raised dinette that converts to a double bunk and another double in the bow. She has a centre cockpit that is safe and protected, aft of the cockpit is an aft cabin with a large enclosed toilet, shower and vanity, opposite is a great double bunk. The engine has been relocated to a recess through the transom, probably a much better place for it on a trailable boat. A new rig has been planed too, a cat ketch with unstayed masts that just drop into a sleeve in the deck and the sails are pretensioned as with a wind surfer.

So there you have it –

They can use the ballasted dagger centreboard as depicted here and benefit from the ultra shoal draft when the board is up. They can have a mini-keel and centreboard, (Dagger or swing back.) with the ballast in either the board or keel (Lightweight board.) or a combination of both.

Also a cockpit aft and various accommodation layouts have been used in the past.

C-C 33 Cat Ketch – Simplicity –

This boat I designed for my own use back in the Eighty’s and its good features are still applicable to-day.

It was intended to be a light displacement roomy, easily sailed, live aboard boat that could be careened on the beach (Halyard to a tree.), float in a foot of water so that she could be left to dry out on Queensland’s mud flats and not be pounded on the bottom as the tide came in. The rig is THE SIMPLIST both to create and operate. The centre cockpit spans the full beam of the boat, great for reef fishing, straight over the side. In fact the whole layout is unique yet very practical. Construction was of cedar strip plank and now I have updated her to use the Compu-Craft Alloy Frame system and this makes her an even better boat.

The anchor chain was stowed amidships (Under the cockpit floor.) and the only gadget on board, was a manual/electric winch with a vertical capstan, mounted beside the mizzen mast. This could be used for almost any purpose, including, raising the anchor, the sails (If I was lazy or injured.), the centreboard and the tender or any other task that required brute force.
