The Rig:

Rabannah is Cutter rigged with a removable inner forestay.  The jib is raised using a car that slides out the bowsprit, meaning we never have to go out on the sprit unless we want to.  We are still perfecting our systems and are playing around with different sail configurations.  Like all things, she is a work in progress.

Interior Layout: 





Late in the build we switched the orientation of the aft cabin to sleep athwartships, otherwise this photo is accurate.

The Inner line is the designed waterline, the outer line is the sheer.

  1. Had to come check out your blog again now that I'm not looking at in on a phone with sketchy wi-fi in some San Juan anchorage! I just watched the video of you all building Rabannah. I have so many words of admiration and respect and at the same time I'm speechless. To build your own boat must be an incredible commitment to a dream. I cannot even grasp how much you all had to learn and comprehend to complete such a lofty goal. MAJOR kudos. And I find it absolutely awesome that we met you all at a moment in time where Living the Dream was exactly what we were all doing! Hope to be in the same place at the same time again soon. Take care!
