#5427--STURDY--A Utility Boat
Designs and specifications for a most useful type of small boat intended for many kinds of useful service
Designed by C.A. Nedwidek
This is a small round bilge boat primarily intended to be used as a general service boat. She also would make an ideal club tender, for with the small cuddy house shown aft, she would afford shelter for passengers in inclement weather. She has not been designed with speed or fancy finish in mind, just a plain little real boat. Her general layout and arrangement consists of a short forward deck under which is a general stowage locker, for anchors, chains, ropes, lights, etc. Next we have a large open cockpit with full length seats on each side. The steering wheel is located at the forward end as shown. All engine controls shou1d be brought to the wheel, to make her easily handled. Two gasoline tanks, rectangular in shape and of a size as shown on the plans are to be installed under the seats one on each side as shown. Aft of this cockpit we have a small cuddy house, which houses the engine and is also fitted with two seats, one on each side. Then there is a good after deck. Two Sampson posts are shown, one fitted forward and one aft. These can be used for towing purposes.
