Hi Steeve,

The Viola is minimal in every way. Camping gear can be carried in drybags or other containers with weight around the centreboard case or a bit behind. Its displacement has been designed around a person and a half, so there is some extra displacement for camping gear or a passenger for daytrips/joyrides providing they are not too big.

There was no intention to provide sleeping aboard accommodation on such a small boat. It is focussed on sailing ability and portability.

Best Regards
MIK

How do you store camping gear?
