The LUNE WHAMMEL is a very easily sailed but powerful yacht with history spanning the traditional salmon sailing vessels around the Morecambe bay and the Scottish Lochs etc.
The design is perfect for using as a camping base with lots of floor room (8' x 4') due to having no keel box to hinder the working area of the decks. She has a long ballasted keel which is perfect for motoring or sailing and can take the beach without a problem as she is fitted with Galvanised steel runners to both main and bilge keels thus alleviating any damage to the hull.
She can be powered by a 2.5HP outboard engine which fits neatly in a dedicated inboard trunk. She is very responsive using her massive but lightweight rudder and tiller which is crafted in solid teak.
Launching and recovery is so simple as you only need approx. 12" of water to expedite a successful slip launch.
