Design 1711 Jandy

Jandy was designed and built in the winter of 1962 and launched in the spring of 1963. Her builder was the Vic Franks Boat Company of Seattle, Washington. She is constructed of Alaskan cedar over white oak framing.

Here is the general arrangement plan.


It's a very well thought out interior. Interesting to see a 2 head boat at 48' overall.

The general arrangement shown above is a fairly high resolution image so you should be able to click on it, open in another window and zoom in quite far. I will draw your attention to the somewhat unusual (at least for S&S) steering arrangement. The boat features a wheel steerer. The wheel is located between a binnacle and a helm seat on centerline. The wheel is angled aft and the wheel shaft passes through a bulkhead steerer mounted in the face of the seat bottom. At the base of the steering wheel shaft is a conventional chain sprocket and it in turn is lead to the quadrant by chain/wire. I wonder if the owner was perhaps a handicapped sailor or just requested this type of arrangement?
