Sweet Pea
Designed by John Welsford
A 17 ft 5 in centreboarder drawn as a club racer for a large, shallow estuary, and built either as a 198 sq ft sloop or as a 180 sq ft cruising yawl with two bunks and space for a cooker. Draws 8 in with the board up and 4 ft 5 in down, on a 7 ft 4 in beam.
What building a Sweet Pea 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.
