Sportsman, an 18-ft Cruiser. By F. O. Gottsschalk. Sportsman is a unique cruisette having a combination of runabout and cruiser features, but is well adapted for day cruising or short trips almost anywhere. Its closest approach in a similar craft ashore is the house trailer, but unlike this mode of travel, "Sportsman" is a self-contained, seaworthy, open-water craft for week-end cruises or short overnight fishing trips that will accommodate a pal or the "missus". It may be transported by trailer wherever desirable.
