Fafnir

Designed by John Welsford

A 13 ft 1 in bluewater pocket cruiser for one or two, drawn after a customer asked for a very small yacht to attempt a non-stop circumnavigation in. Deep and heavily ballasted for her length at 650 kg dry with 250 kg of ballast, carrying 139 sq ft on a 6 ft 2 in beam and drawing 2 ft 7 in.
