Description:

In concept the 29ft SATURN is an updated Surfsong, or a fast Gypsy. It is suitable for those who want to coastal cruise or occasionally race. It is not intended for long term ocean sailing as it has limited load carrying and overloading would spoil its performance.

To speed construction the hulls are chined flat panel and the decks are all single curvature. Construction is plywood on frames, epoxy glass sheathed. Saturn can be built in sections for final completion by the water.
