Or, to save drawing and cutting time, you can buy a kit from us, cut from the master templates or full-size paper patterns that are very accurate. The i550 is annoyingly fast and has troubled much larger sportboats, like Elliot 7’s and a Melges 24. The first i550 was launched in Australia a few years ago, home built by Andrew Clauson. It is the fabled Tokyo Trash Baby of YouTube fame. The i550 is a big winner in the bang for the buck department. You’ll not only have the satisfaction of crafting your own sportboat, but think of the $25 or $35 thousand dollars you’ll be saving. Resourceful scavengers can put one together for $6,000 or less (US). Double that and you’ll have a carbon spar, fine sails, nice foils by a skilled maker and new everything. The building time typically spent comes in at about 400 hours for the hull, keel and rudder. Following the plan set page by page, with the parts diagrams and instructions, the boat will come out right. The rig has height and length limits, but the layout of the deck and cockpit are open to interpretation. Construction is simple stitch and glue plywood, epoxy and glass. Two people can have the hull looking like a hull in a weekend. Put in the transom and bulkheads next while it is right side up. Epoxy coat and glass tape the parts in place and roll it over. Fair the bottom and fiberglass cloth it. There is room down below for simple camping style. Plenty of room on deck gives you room to move around. The lifting bulb keel gives stability and righting moment, but, most importantly, lets the boat launch easily at any boat ramp. The plan’s pack consists of construction notes, suggested bill of materials, profile, plan and section views, nesting diagram, hull panel diagrams, frame diagrams, interior diagrams, keel and keelbox diagram, rudder diagram, cabin trunk diagram, deck layout and a rigging diagram. The plans pack is in a notebook-ring binder. Plans include both the standard and the extended cockpit version. Some creative builders are even building flush deck versions, and the Portland Group, who formed the North American Class (NA.org) have perfected the rounded flush deck version. The mast can be obtained through a number of sources (both aluminum and carbon fiber). We will soon be offering keel bulbs and keels, ballast bulb molds and rudders. We also will build the i550 for you to any stage of completion. Clubs are especially encouraged to inquire. Before and after any purchase, Also, we are always here to answer your questions, anytime by email or phone. Five are now sailing in Australia. Many other builders, who have bought kits or full sized paper plans, are making great progress and we expect those i550 s to start launching soon. | Design | Length | Beam | Sail area | Engine power | Compare | | by Bateau.com [SB18] A trailerable high performance sail boat with lifting keel | | | | 2 - 4 | | | | Boats about same size as i550Questions?

C). The hull and the entire structure are made of aluminum alloys, intended for the construction of sea-going vessels (5083). Used fittings and equipment are the highest quality. Boat is designed using materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and wood. The concept of the boat assumes the possibility of a wide configuration, e.g. wooden or synthetic floor, and a wide range of upholstery made of selected materials. Thanks to this, we can provide each unit with a unique design. Characteristics- Designed as a family picnic boat
- Easy to maintenance
- Safe, unsinkable
The range and autonomy of swimmingThe operating range of the boat is in accordance with design category C – boats intended for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, lagoons, lakes and rivers where wind forces up to and including 6o on the Beaufort scale and significant wave heights up to 2 m, inclusive, may occur. It is estimated that at an optimum cruising speed of approx. 12kn, the unit will stand approx. 9.5h (110Mm), and at a maximum speed of 25kn, it may be approx. 3h (70Mm). i550 has designed a layout for a typical recreational motorboat. There are separate seats for a crew of 6. Seating benches will be installed in the front, which can also be used as deckchair. Further, amidships, there is a double wheelhouse with a sliding backrest, and on the other side there is an aft bench where guests can sunbathe. The seats have been specially designed with regard to ergonomics. They are characterized by high comfort of use both during recreation and while driving a boat. There is a spacious glory hole on the bow. In the aft seats and below the deck, a special space has been designated amidships for storing removable yacht’s equipment. There is a drawer fridge in the seat of the helmsman( from passenger side). |
