Design 1784 C1 Jupiter

Although this is a sistership to design #1784, lets focus on her for a moment. Jupiter was built by T. K. Atkinson of Browns Bay, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, and launched in 1965. She was constructed of local woods using cold molded construction techniques. It has been said that by using care in her construction of both the hull and deck and her joinery the yard was able to shave 1,300 lbs from her weight and thus this weight was added to her ballast.


Here are the plans. My assumption is the "mark ups" found on the general arrangement have been drawn in after the fact and reflect what the boatbuilder actually constructed. Note the auxiliary engine below the cabin sole ingeniously connected to the propeller shaft by a chain drive system. She looks like a great cruiser/racer.
