Cape May 25, Trailable Gaff Cutter

Thirteen years ago Nick and Lindsay Voorhoeve commissioned the Cumhur Regay built his Cape Henry 21 in TurkeyMore recently I have been commissioned to design two more bigger sisters to the Cape May 25 Sail PlanMy client for this design is a tall person and needs extra long berths and ample sitting headroom, so the forward berths are 2.2m long. The cockpit is also long enough for him to sleep there on balmy nights.

Unlike the smaller sisters, the  Cape May 25 has guardrails. It also has wide cockpit coamings that are comfortable for sitting out, leaning against the guardrails.

Construction is lapstrake plywood, over stringers and permanent bulkheads. This is more challenging than basic stitch & glue construction but it does result in a gorgeous boat that really shows off the builder's achievement. The smaller sisters have shown that these boats can be successfully built by amateurs with reasonable but not expert woodworking skills.
