2004 Lapworth Custom Sloop

This is a 48-foot aluminum sloop designed by Bill Lapworth and custom-built in 2004. The hull combines titanium and aluminum construction and features a full keel design that provides stability and tracking ability suited to both coastal and offshore cruising. Power comes from a single 89-horsepower Steyr Daimler-Puch diesel engine. The boat has a beam of 13 feet and a moderate displacement hull.

The interior includes two cabins and two heads, along with a salon featuring a dining area and a well-equipped galley. Teak woodwork throughout gives the interior a classic finish. The cabin sole features removable teak flooring that can be replaced with lightweight racing floor boards.

The boat is known for balanced helm characteristics and ease of handling under sail, with a large sail area for good speed. Its construction is built to high standards, with solid build quality and attention to detail throughout.
