The 880 is built in two complete halves, in strip planked cedar. Once
complete the two halves are turned and then joined down the middle. |
 |
The half shell is now planked and glassed, and is being faired. |
 |
Shell complete, hull is now turned and interior bulkheads installed.
Note that the double berth in the forward part of the bridgedeck has been
turned fore and aft in this boat. There is plenty of room for that option. |
 |
Vessel complete and ready to be rigged |
 |
Note the huge cockpit - perfect for family sailing. |
 |
The outboard motor sits in its own pod below the bridgedeck. Manouverability
under power with this arrangement is excellent. 9 hp will suffice. |
 |
The vessel has good, useable side decks. |
 |
Easy access to the motor by lifting the lid in the cockpit |
 |

at the owners preferance. However, wheel steering may also be fitted as
an alternative. |

This allows navigation without disturbing everyone at the dinette table. |
 |
Large chart stowage space beneath the chart table. |

The dinette area. The dinette is a full double berth size, and so can
be used for extra sleeping if needed in emergencies. |
