Description
Ailsa 22’ Trailer Sailer Plans – Lightweight, Practical & Adventure-Ready
The Ailsa 22’ Trailer Sailer gives sailors freedom, comfort, and flexibility in one smart design. She combines plywood/epoxy construction with strip planking, creating a boat that is both light and strong. This makes her ideal for home builders who want a manageable but capable project.
Building is straightforward. Pre-fabricated plywood sections let you complete much of the work in small, easy-to-handle units before final assembly. This means you can start construction in a garage or workshop and then move everything to the build site when ready.
Inside, the open-plan layout feels spacious and practical. You’ll find four berths, a galley, and a separate WC compartment, making her perfect for family trips or long weekends afloat.
On the water, she is easy to handle. A tabernacle mast allows quick raising and lowering, while lifting bilge boards—controlled from the cockpit—make launching and trailing simple. To keep towing light, her ballast is split between permanent solid weight and water tanks that fill after launching.
The plans also include options for different keel and ballast configurations, so you can adapt her to your sailing style.
With her efficient design, the Ailsa 22’ is ready for adventure. Explore shallow creeks, cruise estuaries, or set out on coastal passages with confidence and comfort.
