Flica 34

Home-built from plans

Brand:: Woods

Designed by:: Lilian Woods, Woods Designs

Description:

The Flica 34 is a cruiser with enough accommodation space and amenities for family living or charter. There are large double cabins at the ends of the hulls and a big saloon with good all-round vision and standing headroom on the bridgedeck.

With a low empty displacement the Flica is a capable performer, yet she has the internal space and hull form to carry substantial loads that might be required for long distance cruising.

Plans for home building are available for 34, 35 and 37 ft versions of the Flica and they can have either hard chine hulls or rounded bilges. A production Flica 35 was made by Palamos Boatbuild in the late 1980s.

Many Flicas have been used for charter and several have made ocean crossings.
