Design 2235 1 4 Tonner

I looks like at least two boats were built to this design by South Hants Marine of England and launched around 1975.  The boats were built using C-Flex, a type of fiberglass "planking" that was developed by Seemann Composite Inc. in the early 1970s. Its made up of flattened longitudinal glass rods with roving in between, woven together with a light fiberglass cloth to keep things in position, and this allows it to be worked on the bias to create compound surfaces.

Here is the general arrangement.

LWL 20-0"

Beam 7-0"
