The OKURA is a 4.8m plywood lapstrake sloop designed for ease of construction by the amateur builder. This is an easily driven hull shape with a relatively flat deadrise amidships for good stability.

The construction is of sawn frames at 914mm centres. The planked joins are reinforced with 22 x 25 battens and we have found that this makes the craft easily constructed by amateur builders. There are 2 bunks in the cabin as well as storage for the batteries under the forward end of the bunks.

The plan includes FULLSIZE TEMPLATES of the frames, stem, transom plus detailed drawings of setting up, hull construction, deck and cabin, mast, sails, rigging etc., as well as written instructions.
