Rig

Ketch

As the name implies, the Deep Seadog is a deeper keeled and slightly taller rigged version of the standard Seadog centre-cockpit ketch. With an extra foot of draught and lead instead of iron ballast, and without the bilge plates fitted to the standard version, the Deep Seadog has substantially better windward performance. Seadogs are very solidly built, and offer an interesting combination of qualities, including serious seaworthiness

The yacht illustrated here was the first of about 20 Deep Seadogs to be built, out of the total production of around 140 boats, mostly triple-keel versions.

The Seadogs have no berths in the fo'csle, this being used for a large heads compartment with basin and WC, plus stowage. In this yacht the collapsible aluminium beaching legs are stowed here when not in use, on a similar fitting to the one on deck.

The Perkins 4107 was the usual engine fitted to Seadogs, and most are still running despite their age. Engine access is by removing the cockpit sole panels - just one panel is open here.
