Float A Home - Designed by Ernst Lanzendorfer. A luxurious 21-footer, this houseboat is very stable, relatively easy to build and interior arrangement can be varied to suit your needs. A Houseboat is a unique water craft in that it combines most of the comforts of home with the mobility of a boat. Of course, use is limited to sheltered waters, and speeds are slow in comparison to more seaworthy vessels. Float-A-Home is a 21-footer that provides plenty of living space for three or four persons. An extremely simple houseboat to build, it features a strong hull with a heavy keel and close spaced framing. This, coupled with a relatively low profile, makes it a very stable craft. Features include a conning room designed to provide an unobstructed view forward and to the sides through glare proof, swing away windows. The settee behind the helm extends to make a full length berth, and in the main cabin, steps at the companionway can be removed to make way for a fold away berth. Of course, the entire interior arrangement can be worked out to best suit your individual needs. Shown is an arrangement where a section of the after deck is left open to provide a patio effect on the starboard side, while the galley is to port.
