39′ Mango
Mango is the smallest of my minimalist style of cruising boat. It is the smallest boat with 1.8 m headroom in the bridge deck. It is also the smallest boat with both front (optional) and rear cockpits.
The boat has a genuine queen size berth in the port hull with compact toilet and shower forward. The galley is downstairs in the starboard hull with another big berth aft and a child’s single berth forward.
The bridge deck has dinette seating for 4 and like all in this range is very airy and light.
Excellent ventilation has been a criteria from the beginning. With a door and opening windows in the front and the back of the cabin this design is particularly suited for tropical living.
Construction is again my tried and proven Duflex pre-cut kit set with some strip planking in the cabin roof.
