Romany

 Home-built from plans

Brand:

Woods

Designed by:

Lilian Woods, Woods Designs

Description:

The Romany is a larger version of the Gypsy with a similar separate central cuddy on the bridgedeck. The hulls of the Romany are large enough to have double berths and a generous shower area. Due to her size the Romany also has considerably larger load carrying capacity for stores, more speed and improved seakindliness - all factors that give her more scope as an ocean cruiser.
