In a 2008 review in Practical Sailing, Darrell Nicholson wrote, "with a displacement of 8,400 pounds, the Etap 28s is a stocky pocket cruiser. In addition to offering the fail-safe of positive buoyancy, she sports a spacious cabin for her size, along with a no-nonsense sail plan that makes it an easy boat to sail.
There are two stowage compartments, with hatches. The boat displaces 275 lb (125 kg) and has flotation for positive buoyancy, plus a righting bar. [1] [2] [4] The boat has a draft of 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with the centerboards extended and 6 in (15 cm) with them retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1]
It has foam flotation for positive buoyancy. [1] [2] [4] [5] The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.67 ft (0.20 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [5] The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor of up to 7 hp (5 kW
Designed at Vandestadt, the Sirius 21/22 was an innovative boat and indeed is said to be the first North American production-built, ballasted cruising boat with positive flotation. In a more expensive procedure, closed-cell foam was injected into some compartments, then into the gap between the inner and outer hull the full length and up to the ...
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.58 ft (0.48 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] The boat is normally fitted with a small 2 to 6 hp (1 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring, mounted in a transom well.
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centerboard extended and 11 in (28 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] For sailing the design is equipped with a jib window and adjustable jib tracks. Foam flotation provides positive buoyancy and the boat has two storage lockers, one forward and ...
A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on nautical floats for buoyancy. Common boat designs are a catamaran with two pontoons, or a trimaran with three. [2] In many parts of the world, pontoon boats are used as small vehicle ferries to cross rivers and lakes. [3] An anchored raft-like platform used for diving, often referred to as a pontoon
The hull is fiberglass with internal buoyancy tanks. The 420 has a bermuda rig, spinnaker and trapeze. It has a large sail-area-to-weight ratio, and is designed to plane easily. The 420 is an International class recognised by World Sailing. The name refers to the boat's length of 420 centimetres (4.2 m; 13 ft 9 in).
