Abstract
The paper discusses the tradeoffs and payoffs of designing and building big ship capability into a small cruising sailing yacht. A Norwegian rescue ship hull form, large three-bladed controllable-pitch propeller, nickel-cadmium batteries, shaft-driven generator, above average horsepower, a high degree of watertight integrity, modest self-salvage capability, tugboat handling under power, low helmsman energy drain under all conditions, circumferential safety and grab rail, balanced rudder, diesel oil-fired range, and hot-water central heating are all discussed as they combine to fill the author's requirements for seaworthiness, seakeeping ability, safety, maintainability, self-sufficiency, and comfort at sea.
