Design 2090 DM22 Quarter Tonner
Commissioned by Douglass & McLeod, this quarter tonner is somewhat unusual, but innovative. At first blush I suspected that they were using an existing hull mold and making changes to the sheer by adding to the deck tool. See close up below.
You can see how much freeboard was added to the height of the reverse sheer. After reviewing the technical files this is in fact a brand new hull design.
The innovations didnt stop there. Check out the keel design in the plans, below.
Here are some "Designers Comments" from the time of launch: This compact and versatile little MORC cruiser offers a logical forward step for many small boat sailors. Her removable rudder, her retractable keel, hinged mast and outboard engine tend to improve her trailer-ability. She has been designed to the Quarter Ton Rule and can be trailered to events and kept-economically-at home. Her accommodations afford generous sitting headroom.
Principal Dimensions

LWL 18-9"

I think the Lines Plan is worth a look. If you look at the design without the deck add-on to the freeboard it would make a handsome looking boat. No offense intended to those that own these!
