Stir-Ven 19
Designed by François Vivier
Stir-Ven 19 is a 5.70 m daysailer and raid boat with a 2.08 m beam, drawn in 2013 as a smaller sister to the Stir-Ven 22. The aim was a lighter boat that is easy to launch from a ramp while keeping the flat bottom and the performance of the larger design.
She has a profiled cast iron centerboard and a water ballast tank, so she is stable at sea and light on the trailer. The cockpit is watertight and self-draining, and two people can sleep aboard under a tent. She comes in an open version and a cabin version with a small cuddy. The designer states that she can only be built from a CNC-cut plywood kit.
What building a Stir-Ven 19 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.
