Building Crown Jewel

These pages show some pictures and notes about building a 36 ft heavy displacement sailing boat. 

The boat is designed by the naval architect Tom MacNaughton in Maine. He has been very helpful during our building.

The boat is a bit different then current production boats:

  • Junk rig
  • Inside steering station
  • Flush decked
  • No foot well
  • Heavy - disp/length ratio = 420. This will make the boat very comfortable in rough seas. And of course able to take a load.
Particulars
LOA 35' 6'' (10,82 m)'
LWL 28' (8,53 m)
BOA 10' 10'' (3,3 m)
Draught 5' (1,52 m)
Displacement 20706 lbs (9392 kg)
Ballast 8187 lbs (3713 kg)
Sail area 800 sq ft (74 sq m)
Wetted surface 327 sq ft (30,4 sq m)
Ballast ratio 40%
Disp length ratio 421
SA/disp ratio 17

Read more about Crown Jewel at Tom MacNaughtons website here. And look at a drawing of the interior here.

No, the boat is not named Crown Jewel. It is the design that is named Crown Jewel. The boat has no name yet.
