Design 2162 Beagle II

This robust looking trawler was built in Venezuela and launched in 1975. The design brief was for a strong, rugged hull with simple, straightforward construction (frames are sawn), deep Vee hull, ample flare and excellent natural ventilation plus all of the accoutrements one would expect to find on a fishing vessel: fish fighting chairs, fish freezer box, etc.

Please note the image above is during her shake down cruise and the boat is missing railings, navigation mast, tender and tender crane.

The boat seems to have a commercial finish which can be seen in this detailed image. Note the lack of fairing on the topsides.


Here is an image which shows the added railings, mast, tender and crane. We don't seem to have an overall profile shot of the completed boat.


Here are the plans.
