Description
20’ Cygnet Two Barge Yacht Plans – Classic Style, Shallow Draft & Flexible Design
The 20’ Cygnet Two Barge Yacht combines traditional Thames sailing barge inspiration with modern versatility. Its multi-chine hull adds elegance and performance while maintaining a low draft, perfect for exploring the UK East Coast’s shallow waters and inland waterways.
Designed for comfort and practicality, the Cygnet Two features 4 berths, a small galley, and a WC compartment. The coachroof includes an optional lift-up section, giving extra headroom at anchor, making overnight trips and extended cruising more comfortable.
Builders can choose from several keel options to suit their sailing style:
-
Long shallow central ballast keel with steel bilge keels – ideal for stability in shallow waters.
-
Long shallow ballast keel with offset pivoted board – for adjustable draft in tight spots.
-
Deeper central keel without bilge or pivoted boards – for enhanced performance in deeper waters.
Construction is straightforward with plywood over frame, making this project achievable for home boatbuilders. The thoughtfully designed hull offers balance, seaworthiness, and the timeless charm of classic barge yachts, while the flexible layout adapts to your personal needs.
