Silver Gull 19
Description
The Silver Gull 19 is a compact pocket cruiser designed as part of the Silver Gull series by Tom MacNaughton (MacNaughton Group / MacNaughton Associates), with hull concepts drawing from Philip Bolger's "instant boat" philosophy of simple, developable plywood shapes. Plans are sold directly by MacNaughton Group (study plans ~$66, full building plans ~$568), aimed at amateur or low-cost professional builders; exact production/quantity built numbers are not documented as it is a plans-based design rather than a factory-built class, though completed examples exist and are occasionally discussed in pocket cruiser communities. It features an extremely simple double-ended sailing dory hull with straight lines (no compound curves), good flare for dryness and load-carrying, a springy sheer, and an enclosed pilothouse/steering station with removable panels for all-weather protection—making it a versatile, affordable "backpacker" micro-cruiser for coastal/offshore adventuring by a couple or solo sailor.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
