Ranworth 22’8” Broads Sailing Cruiser Plans – Spacious, Stable & Classic
The Ranworth 22’8” Broads Sailing Cruiser combines classic Norfolk Broads style with modern practicality. Thanks to her generous beam, shallow draft, and large sail area, she handles beautifully in sheltered coastal waters while still catching the breeze above the reeds on inland rivers.
Step inside, and you’ll find a cozy yet practical layout. She offers 3 comfortable berths, space for a compact galley, and a dedicated WC compartment. For extra comfort, the cabin top lifts to provide additional headroom. Meanwhile, the large cockpit invites family and friends to relax, and you can easily add a boom tent for more shelter on longer trips.
Building her is both rewarding and straightforward. Construction uses cedar strip planking over computer-faired moulds, creating a strong, fair hull with timeless lines. When it comes to propulsion, you have options. Choose a small inboard engine in the forepeak with hydraulic drive to the prop shaft, or go with the simplicity of an outboard for easy handling.
With her blend of traditional looks, spacious interior, and versatile setup, the Ranworth 22’8” Broads Cruiser is perfect for sailors who want a classic yacht with modern comfort.
