This member of the Coin Collection series was drawn with the idea that she was to be a permanent home for her designer and his family. She should be a very good choice for those whose needs include a considerable degree of comfort. Due to the tremendous volume provided by her flush deck configuration and heavy displacement, her interior arrangement compares favorably with that of many boats over 40' in length. Sovereign can have many different interior arrangements. As drawn, she contains a large forward storage area with bubble hatch over, for protected anchor handling or quick checks of the surroundings from the forward stateroom. Next aft there is a stateroom with double berth and office area. There is then an enclosed head, followed by a good-sized galley and navigation area. Another interior version puts another office where the galley is and replaces the navigation area with a galley. Aft of this is a separate "watch cabin" with comfortable seats adjacent to the central control hatch, and a large "great cabin" aft containing two settee berths and a folding dining table. This cabin is made particularly comfortable for lounging and conversation by the sloping seat backs all around and considerable elbowroom. There is full headroom throughout. The prodigious deck space allows carrying a large tender aboard. There is very comfortable fair-weather seating aft, on or between large deck boxes. We have referred to Sovereign as "an ultimate 30' Voyaging Yacht", and that she is. Due to her relative simplicity to build she should cost much less to build than other vessels of her displacement.

Recently a reader of this site requested a look at the lines. I have put in a page showing an isometric view of the lines. These are quick to do but they do distort the lines somewhat so this drawing should be understood to give you an idea of the shape of the boat but it is not a true perspective rendering.

I have very few pictures of Sovereign but here is one of hull number one. It shows pretty poor sail set due to some lines that the owners left off the rig. However the owners did report her to be fast and easy to handle even with the rig not quite right..

Eighteen years after drawing up Sovereign her designer still views this boat as his own ultimate live aboard vessel.
