4.9 Metre (16ft) Cutter PUDEL, Design #239

This miniature cutter is a revised version of the Oysterman 16 a stock fibre glass boat designed back in 1978  - this time built plank on frame in the traditional manner.  It is a small, simple boat intended for weekend and day sailing along shore.  The cockpit is sealed but is not self draining, the cabin contains a pair of berths and enough room for modest cruising supplies.  Perhaps the ideal boat for the solitary traditionalist.
