The "Normus"
Principal dimensions: |
|
The ply/epoxy "Normus" will weigh about 59kg/130lb if built with Okume ply and is of the single chine type for simplicity of build. The ease of assembly can be seen in the Pinta assembly animation .. |
|
Sails: For this dinghy I designed a standing lug rig. The lug rig is one of the simplest as well as effective rigs. Lug rigs have good performance to windward and the boomless main makes for a safe cockpit, excellent for recreational sailing!. The standing rigging consists of a mast, which just slips into the boat without any shrouds or stays and a yard. Both are simple 'poles' that can be made from standard aluminum pipes or timber depending on preference. |
|
Propulsion: With its long waterline length, the 'Normus' will be easy to row, so I recommend fitting rowlocks at the mid thwart. For longer hauls of course an outboard motor can be fitted. The transom height is suitable for a short shaft outboard motor. Suggested power: 3.3-6 HP, max. 15HP. |
The plan shows how much space the boat offers for a family. Note the aft seats with removable fill-in side seats and a good rowing position on the mid-thwart. | ||
