INGA (Peter Watt)
DescriptionInga is a fast 28' 3" Double-Ended Knockabout By William Atkin.
She is 28 feet 3 inches in over all length; 25 feet on the water line; 8 feet 6 inches breadth; and 3 feet 6 inches draft.
The freeboard at the bow is 3 feet 10 inches, the least freeboard 2 feet 6 inches, and the freeboard at the stern 2 feet 10 1/2 inches. The hull has a displacement of 12,200 pounds so you can easily see where the room below comes from. The outside lead weighs 5,700 pounds, inside ballast 600 pounds.
Sail area is 381.9 square feet divided into main, 293.4 square feet, and staysail, 88.5 square feet. Staysail is not of overlapping design, rather has proper boom which simplifies sailing the boat eliminating the everlasting, shifting of staysail sheets every time tacks are changed.
The boat is simply rigged with a minimum of standing and running rigging. There are only two shrouds each side and the main shrouds lead to the mast at a considerable distance below the mast head. Also there is no permanent back stay. Single headstay, mast headstay, and runners complete the standing rigging.
The deck plan shows a cockpit 3 feet 11 inches long having seats each side. The floor is well above the load water line. There is a bridge deck 20 inches long, and a coaminged hatch in the after deck. The main deck house is 8 feet 1 inch long by 5 feet 4 inches wide. Decks in the waist are about 17 inches wide and ample.
