Designed with maximum cockpit size, both in length and width, and intended for day fishing trips in coastal BC. The tiny cuddy cabin forward is only used for dry storage. A modern boat of traditional appearance with her lapstrake plywood topsides and wooden windshield frame. Commissioned by a Victoria BC client to be built by Nomad Boatbuilding, Victoria, BC.
