Gibban

We have made mention of this design under a separate article but I think it's worthy of additional mention. Arcadia was designed primarily for racing under I.O.R. but her generous beam and freeboard and limited draft made necessary by the shoal water at her owner's home pier should make her a great cruising boat. She was built of aluminum by Palmer Johnson of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and launched in 1970. Here are the plans. Principal Dimensions LOA 48'-6" LWL 36'-2" Beam 13'-6" Draft 6'-0" (board up) 10'-1" (board down) Displacement 27,650 lbs Ballast 12,000 lbs Sail Area 1,042 sq ft
