Design Concept An Easy Build Tiny Trawler

Posted by Unknown at 6:15 AM
Here is a 15-3" Tiny-Trawler for someone who has been pouring over Delvin Boatworks and Tad Roberts website looking for a rugged trawler that is small enough to be built in a single car garage.   Designed to combine solid looks with easy to build screw and glue home center construction, this Tiny-Trawler features standing headroom in the cabin/wheelhouse a generous single berth and a semi enclosed head.   The cockpit takes advantage if the 7-6" beam with a bench seat across the stern for comfortable lounging.  

The pictures are of a 1/2" to 1 scale cardboard model of the concept boat.  




The cabin/wheelhouse is open to the cockpit intended to be sheltered with canvas on the main bulkhead of the boat that forms its shape.  Under the wheelhouse, there is 6-3" headroom and in the cabin, about 4 to make sitting headroom possible. 

Construction is simplified through the plumb sides which facilitates cutting most if the angled components on a table saw.  The bottom is intended to be two layers of 3/4 inch ply in order to eliminate scarfing and to provide a stiff floor without a lot of framing.
