Submitted by: Owner Peter JohnsFrancis Lee
Francis Lee - aka The Sliver Project was built at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Hadlock Washington and finished at the CSR yard in Ballard. The hull is red cedar strip planking sheathed in glass. The deck is composite out of a female mold made from CNC cut patterns. The interior is also all CNC cut composite panels and masterfully designed to be all assembled outside of the hull and dropped intact into the finished hull. I thank Jim Franken for his work on this part of the project. Jim always amazed us with his cavalier attitude that “It has to fit. It’s all from the same computer file.” - Sail Number: USA 1 - Type: Puget Sound Daysailer - LOA: 61’11” / 18.87m - LOD: 61’11” / 18.87m - LWL: 55’4” / 16.86m - Beam: 9’10” / 2.99m - Draft: 6’3” / 1.90m - Displacement: 17,718 lbs / 8,036.74kg - Sail Area: 976 sq.
