Sea Urchin
Description
This design exemplifies Simon Watts' philosophy of combining elegance with practicality. As he noted, these are "mature designs that had reached a balance between the purpose for which they were built, the materials then available and the skills and techniques current at the time." The Sea Urchin represents what Watts called "carpentry made art"—a design with historical roots spanning hundreds of years.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
