The name of my boat

Penobscot 14 designed by Arch Davis
The Penobscot 14 is designed by Arch Davis. See the link to his website below. Arch has designed a number of great boats.

I chose the Penobscot 14 after researching many different small homebuilt sailboats out there.

The unique use of permanent stringers that the strakes attach to was one of the main reasons that I chose the Penobscot 14. This system just seemed to make sense for a first time boat builder like myself. I liked the idea of the stringers for added strength and as a guide to establish the shapes for each of the strakes. This system also worked great for me as I worked through the modification of widening the hull by 6 inches.

Overall, I really liked this building system. I highly recommend it.
