Fast Eddy 35
Designed by Dudley Dix
A 35 ft 3 in (10.76 m) trailable gaff schooner by Dudley Dix, commissioned by Seaforth Expeditions in British Columbia for adventure cruises trips. It is a stretched Cape Henry 21 with a very slim 8 ft 3 in beam, eight rowing positions, a swing keel, an open camp-cruising cockpit and a small bow cabin. The hull keeps the lapstrake look but is built in aluminum to shrug off rocks and floating logs. Both masts fold in tabernacles. The first boat finished 14th of 46 in the 2019 Race to Alaska.
The designer calls it fairly complex and recommends it only to professionals or amateurs with aluminum welding experience. As a rough estimate, allow 3,000 to 5,000 hours. The medians below come from builders who logged this boat here.
What building a Fast Eddy 35 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.
