Design 1905 C1 Dyna II and Falcon



Two boats were built to this design by Palmer Johnson of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Dyna II is a sloop. The design brief was for a (somewhat) luxurious cruiser/racer. Falcon is a ketch and was designed strictly as a cruising boat. The design was extensively tank tested. The year was 1969.

We have no images of Dyna II but that's Falcon shown here.


Here are the plans for Dyna II.


Here are the plans for Falcon.


The following images are both interior and exterior shots of Falcon. This is a good example of using a race-worthy hull as a platform for a cruising design.
