The Coral Sea 35 on the water at launch (Capetown). This boat has been
modified slightly, with a slightly larger cockpit and a solid cabin over
the cockpit. |
 |
A front on view of Zig Zag. This boat has had the cockpit covered
by a solid turret - looks great. |
 |
CS35 on the slips - gives a good idea of the overall size and shape
of the vessel |
 |
CS35 on the slips - good view of deck layout. This vessel has a solid
turret roof which is optional. |
 |
View of bow - very clean for this style of boat - flush deck will not
hold deck water. |
 |
This boat has twin outboards lowering on brackets below the aft deck. |
 |
View of bows. Foredeck is slatted in work area, with walkway and netting
forward. drop down beach bording ladder may be fitted if desired. this
foredeck will not hold water in bad weather. |
 |
Foredeck area - note drop ladder to right of bow walkway. |
 |
This pic shows the initial setup. Very simple bulkheads on a very simple
jig. |
 |
Internal construction. Very simple stringer / bulkhead structure. Note
the wood / epoxy construction, and the excellent workmanship on this particular
vessel. The step in the hull side is non standard. |
 |
Interior construction again. This view looks aft towards what will
be the seperate WC area. Again, note attention to detail - every stringer
has been filletted for extra strength. |
 |
This view looks forward through the dinette area. The bilge area is
very clean and clear, and the dinette is raised to provide wider seating,
and a huge space underneath for tanks, ice boxes etc. The opening forward
leads to the double berth. |
 |
Port hull virtually complete and squeezed into the backyard. Already
the streamlined cabin shape can be seen. |
 |
Same hull (port) from astern. |
 |
This is the galley area looking through the dinette area. Builder has
slightly modified the dinette area into a single seat , and has lowered
the dinette area floor slightly. |
 |
Looking forward from the galley through the dinette area. The cut out
leads to a double berth in a seperate forward cabin. |
 |
The raised floor in the dinette area leaves plenty of room underneath
for tanks etc. Here an ice box has been installed. |
 |
CC35 has transom hung rudders. Here they are ready for installation. |
 |
Rudder is fitted with simple, home made pintles |
 |
Rudder again, installed. Very simple setup and very easy to repair
at sea. |
 |
Moving the first hull. This view gives a good idea of the hull, and
shows that you can still have style and appearance in a very simple vessel.
Hull is sleek and streamlines despite it's 7 ft beam. |
 |
Hull being moved again. Again, see how streamlined the hull is. |
