The Weekender is a boat that borrows some good ideas from the golden age of working sail, as well as some new wrinkles from space-age materials and power systems. It's a project that combines the best of both worlds-the classic lines of the sea-wise sloops of the turn of the century-and the quick-to-build, lightweight, low maintenance of modern materials.
It was designed with a simplified, stressed-skin plywood box-section hull that eliminates almost all the intricate inner framing of the old boats. The result is an extremely rigid, self-aligning structure that pulls itself straight as you build. This works great for reducing building time.

Inside, there's over six feet of sleeping room for two. The reason for the extra room inside is the absence of a centerboard trunk that usually sits square in the middle of where you want to be. The extra room is what really makes the Weekender a Pocket Yacht, as two people can take it on a camping trip and still have a light, compact boat that's easy to trailer.

The salty old gaff-head sail rig also turns out to have a lot of advantages. With the mainsail held on three sides by spars, it's easy to control the shape of the sail while underway-and it's also easy for home-boat-builders to make their own durable sails that really work.

Included in this product are the complete building plans with progress drawings and construction photos, materials list-even a Sailing Log for the boat. Plenty of first-time-builders are happily sailing their Weekenders and you can too!

Our plans are incredibly detailed and easy to follow. A 58-page booklet, complete with step-by-step directions, diagrams, photos, and materials list. These plans make it easy for beginner builders to complete a project to be proud of!

You can also get a 3 1/2 hour long Weekender Video Series which covers the whole Weekender building process and is really a great addition to the plans!

Like some of the unique features of this sailboat. That you can sail it without a center board makes it extremely versatile

I bought it convinced that it would be translated into Spanish.
