Gypsy Building 2

galley under construction

Cuddy is built seperately from the hulls and can be fully completed before starting work on the hulls. It is small enough to be built in most garages, saving a lot of travelling time and yard costs.

Space for cooker looking forward to mast beam

This shows the cuddy partially finished, note the mast beam at front end of cuddy. The beam is made in three pieces, ie cuddy plus two hulls and joined during final assembly

Plywood boat nearing completion, but note mast has been stepped but keels still not fitted

This plywood boat has the mast stepped, but the keels have yet to be fitted, they are lying upside down next to the boat

alternative side opening hatches

Hull hatches can either be on the aft end, or side access as shown here. This arrangement makes it easier to seperate the heads compartment from the rest of the boat. The aft entrances are easier to use, and allow storage of long items eg windsurfers etc
