Long Steps

Designed by John Welsford

A bigger sister to Walkabout, drawn for longer coastal passages and named for the ambition: further along the coast, and more nights aboard. The designer's page tells the story of the boat rather than her dimensions, and publishes no figures.

What building a Long Steps 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.
