Ocracoke 20
Designed by Graham Byrnes
A 20 ft Carolina style centre-console by Graham Byrnes of B&B Yacht Designs. Beam is 7 ft 8 in, transom deadrise 13 degrees, bare hull about 1,350 lb and power 70 to 150 hp. B&B reports 42 mph with five adults aboard on only 90 hp. The hull is cold molded plywood over an egg crate frame, with two diagonal 4 mm layers on the sides, sheathed inside and out in biaxial glass. Plans include full-size mylar templates, and CNC framing kits can be supplied.
The designer states plainly that this is not an introductory stitch and glue boat, but that a patient builder used to wood, epoxy and glass will manage it. Budget 1,000 to 1,800 hours as a rough guide. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Ocracoke 20 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
