Sango - 25ft Trailable Performance Cruiser

Sango was designed as a larger version of Wizard. The extra length implies more speed, more seakindliness and more load carrying ability. The down side is that its a bigger load to trail and the mast is longer and heavier so harder to hoist.

The cuddy is very similar to Wizard, but a bit longer so the galley area is larger. The cross section (see drawing on the Wizard page) is similar to Wizard.

Wings on the hull sides add to the stowage space in the hulls. The cockpit is longer than Wizard's making it more comfortable for a crowd.

A flat panel (plywood) dory hull version, see above, is also available for those who prefer simple building over ultimate performance. Hull shape is almost identical to the original. Pink lines are hard chine plywood version, curved lines are strip plank or foam sandwich version.

There is a bulge in the hull topsides. This increases interior room and increases bouncy to reduce pitching and nose diving problems

The photo shows Sango on a trailer (Wizard is similar). It is legally trailable behind most large cars. Assembly is quick and simple, as on Wizard. Just visible is the cuddy's "pop bottom" in down position. Note also the "wings" on the hulls

A quote from a Turkish builder

"I have started to build Sango. It is going very well. Here is the latest photo which I took on the sixth working day."

These two photos (above) are of a Russian Sango under construction. Paper plans left my office Jan 2nd, and these photos were received Feb 1st, so they show less than 4 weeks work

Australian Sango at speed, owner quote below

"it is a little quicker than a Farrier 9a, at least the ones in Adelaide. Best speed so far 22.6 knots. I have a photo of it on the gps. Did fly a hull on purpose, all very controlled, all in all its a great little seaboat."
