6 M Whaler
Designed by John Welsford
A 19 ft 8 in clinker double-ender on Navy whaler lines, built glued lapstrake and rigged with 175 sq ft. Carries a crew and their gear on a 7 ft beam at 300 kg including the centreboard, and draws 10 in with the board up against 4 ft 5 in down.
What building a 6 M Whaler 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.
