GINGER: A 50' Fast Daysailer
In WoodenBoat magazine No. 201, we published an article on the 50' fast daysailer GINGER. The boat, designed by Robert W. Stephens, while evocative of the Sonderboats of the turn of last century, is a thoroughly modern concept--above the water and below. In the magazine, we weren't able to show her underwater profile. Designer Stephens sent over a color rendering after publication, and offered it for the letters section of WB 202. Space constraints prevented its inclusion there at a reasonable size, but we promised you could find it here. Enjoy!
In June 2008 Wooden Boat you suggest that the picture shows Ginger's " stunning underwater profile ". Surely all we really get is a simple curve - possibly a circular arc, but perhaps it is a simple polynomial - plus a rudder and keel weight.
The general effect is rather pretty, but tells us almost nothing about the design.
