| Design
“Amakama” is a “open wing” design with net areas between the main hull and the floats between the crossbeams. There are also bow nets. Nets will be new in 2008. The main hull is flared well above the waterline to provide additional interior volume and a drier ride. There are 2 x crossbeams and 6 x bulkheads, two of which are watertight. The forward watertight compartment, which also houses the anchor locker, has both horizontal and vertical bulkheads with inspection port. The bulkhead dividing the engine room from the aft cabin is also watertight. The forward wing cavities contain outside access lockers for deck equipment. There are two additional outside access lockers just forward and outboard of the cockpit. The cockpit has several storage areas in the coamings and under the seats. The port and starboard aft wing cavities each contain a storage locker accessible from bottom hatches for emergency equipment. There is an 18” x 18” Bomar access hatch in each float. The bottom of the main hull is fitted with a minikeel through which a swinging centerboard passes. The centerboard is controlled with uphaul and downhaul lines leading to the cockpit. The single rudder is mounted on a skeg and is operated by an Edson pull-pull cable type wheel steering system. She is very well balanced on all points of sail and will self-steer when close hauled and reaching with the wheel locked. Construction “Amakama” was constructed over male molds. Wood surfaces are epoxy coated and glued with epoxy glue. Hulls are of fiberglass foam sandwich construction.
