Sango
Designed by Richard Woods
A 7.7 m (25 ft 2 in) enlargement of the Wizard by Richard Woods of Woods Designs, keeping the central cuddy layout but with a bigger galley, a longer cockpit and more load capacity. Strip plank hulls with a plywood cuddy are standard, with foam sandwich or a nearly identical hard-chine plywood dory hull as options. Beam 4.5 m, about 900 kg empty, 32.4 sq m of sail, still legally trailable behind a large car. An Australian owner reports 22.6 knots.
Woods notes the plywood hull suits those who prefer simple building over ultimate performance. His minimum is 900 hours to a basic fit out for a practised builder, so budget 1,200 to 1,800 first time round. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Sango 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.
