I am sure you will find many descriptions online. My simple definition is: "A boat where most of the deck forward of the is relatively flush or flat and there is no large trunk cabin." As mentioned earlier, some Flush Deck (FD) boats may have a hard or a low trunk cabin or House, or even a relatively large Pilot House on deck. So, there are some boats that push the boundaries of a definition. _________________ space or volume.

= 78' This is what some consider one of the most noteworthy and "ultimate" cruising boats. Designed by Steve Dashew to be sailed by a couple (he and Linda, his wife) and to have outstanding performance and very comfortable and safe features. It is remarkable that such a large boat was succesfully cruised for many miles by a couple. It broke many boundaries of what was considered possible at the time. There is extensive information about BEOWULF on the Dashew website, including many photos of it. I will post a few photos here to illustrate what many consider an admirable boat that is designed with a Flush Deck. You can learn about Dashew's other boat designs (also FD boats) via this link: _________________ Steady's NOTES: Notice this boat has a rather large Hard Dodger (or a partially enclosed pilot house) where the Dashews will sit while on watch, using a control to adjust the . Each of Steve Dashew's significant sailboat designs (SUNDEER, DEERFOOT, BEOWULF) have had a Flush Deck. Dashew writes about this in his book "Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia" and describes his view of why he prefers a FD. You can read a free copy of that book via this link. I highly recommend that book, and I read it cover to cover many years ago (1989) and enjoyed it immensely. It is full of insights into cruising boat design and gear. It is one of three free that Dashew has made available for download. Highly Recommended! | |

25 in Bay. The Flush Deck on a like this can provide more in the , making it more comfortable below. But, it also allows for safer on the foredeck, as oftentimes small boats with trunk cabins have very narrow decks and small foredecks. This was particularly important in the days before became popular. I am posting this humorous for a bit of levity, but also to show how a Flush Deck can be a great place for lounging, by a weary crew, sunbathers, or others. | |

Steady's NOTES: I first saw these boats sailing when I was racing on Bay. They were eyecatching because of their distinctive Flush Deck, , and schemes. I admired them, and heard a lot of good things about them. Here is a brief to this Flush Deck boat that has many fans. I will include some links to two of this design, and I am sure if you do some searching on the net you will find much more written about them. While some may not find them "pretty" as boats, I think a boat's beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes a functional design is elegant for simplicity, and can be considered another type of beauty. When I look at these sailing, I admire them. When I look at them in large photos, I admire them. I only regret I have not yet had a chance to sail on one yet, but I hope to change that in the future (Anyone have one I can sail on?). I think they look distinctive and well designed for a small boat. They are a . Some were built in (40), some in GRP (150) or . This small boat has a Vberth and could be used as a "pocket cruiser" but be aware the is at most 48" so it is a bit cramped in the cabin. It does have a large , so is better suited for . Most have a and boomkin. ___________ : | |

Boat: Carena 40 | that many cannot believe is made from . A long and deep with 12 ton , provides for a steady sail. The rig is ideal for us as cruisers being to have many sail configuration options. Mostly I love the flush deck being able to walk and work on the foredeck without extra obstacles. Make My Day is currently in the hall for . She will get new cockpit seats, a bottom job, new on the topsides and new standing . We just bought her last year and doing some long needed .

. As, unless you get something like an 39, or a Sundeer, with windows built into the cabin sides, then you have to go on deck in order to see anything. And that's hard on some folks, especially those with weak stomachs. Albeit, adding your own/more windows is an option. But you've gotta' keep up on the maintenance on their . Plus, they add a touch of drag. Though nothing worth fretting over, unless you're match racing. But with a few deck hatches, & a couple of prisims or deadlights set into the deck, the is actually quite good down below. And yeah, they feel pretty spacious as compared to boats with coach houses of the same size. I LOVE those older Swans, & have done some Incredible racing, cruising, & deliveries in them. And would snap a good one up in a heartbeat. You might want to look at ones which have had several taller masts added, as the S&S era Swans were heavy for the amount of sail area which they had. And much of their light weather performance depends overly, on jibs which overlap heavily. Like I prefer to sail at windspeed, or 2/3 of it all the way down to 5kts or less. And my of thumb to be able to do that is to shoot ffor an SADR of 25, with your light air ... meaning, the upwind type. Which, even on a heavy Swan, is doable, with a roachy main & a Code 0. And or a detachable sprit, for a light air that you have a sew a Kevlar/Vectran/Spectra luff or tape into/onto. It's a simple job to do/have done to a light #1. The only drawback on some of those Swans, is the . As basically there isn't one. There's pretty much just a sliding set into the deck, with a grab bar on either side of it. Which can make entry/egress in heavy weather a much more physical chore. And require a lot more upper body strength & balance. Plus, it's a good bit harder to seal the completely. Be it via coamings & the hatch's build in rails. Or, via a dodger. Which can be tough, to impossible to rig on such boats. And best, you can do something akin to a pram , or a solid version of same. Though Ann T. & Jim Cate came up with a good hard dodger on their flush decker, so it's possible. And I've got a few links & tips if you get to that point & get stuck/want more info. Thus, protection for the helmsman is a bit tougher to come by. But you can sit under the pram & steer with the AP . When she really needs "a hand on the wheel" in the bad stuff. Though they're enough of a dream to when it's like that, that often, you up reveling in it... for a while anyway, depending on the Sea temp. Bottom line: IMO, if the boat's solid, & the price fits, snag one. They'll always be classics... for a reason. And they handle weather with aplomb. Especially as compared to 90%+ of everything else. | |
