Design 642 Courageous

This design is an interesting study. There is absolutely no knuckle at the intersection of the forward overhang and the waterline. I have to believe this is a result of tank testing but in any event its somewhat unusual in a cruising boat from this office. This is very much like a meter boat of the period, along with the very narrow beam.

Courageous was built by Henry B. Nevins of City Island and launched in 1946.

Here are the plans.


Heres an article about the boat. I believe this is from Rudder magazine.
