     Your Luger Voyager is as stiff and resistant to heeling as many boats with broader beams and more ballast.  The secret is in the design of the Voyager -- a broad hull with a slightly turned bilge and a broad transom stern. 
     Stiffness is further increased by Voyager ballast arrangement -- ballast placed along the entire length of the keel cavity with substantial additional ballast in the centerboard where it rides low in the water and does the most good.
     Voyager is self-righting.  Even if knocked down flat by extremely rough conditions, she rights herself immediately.  When the wind pipes up, jiffy reefing of the mainsail (mainsail is equipped with reef points) enables you to reduce sail quickly and safely.
     Voyager's centerboard is raised and lowered by means of a "safety-brake" winch concealed behind an opening panel in the galley counter extension.  The panel swings out for easy access to the winch and closes to conceal the winch from view.  The unique "safety-brake" winch is easily operated and instantly locks the raising-lowering cable when the handle is released.

     All masts have hinged, stainless steel tabernacle base fittings and are equipped with topping lift and have molded-in slots for sail slugs.
     Your Luger Voyager is constructed using alternate layers of hand-laid fiberglass matt and woven fiberglass roving.  End grain balsa is molded-in and reinforces hatches, deck and cabin top and cockpit seats and footwell.  Additional reinforcing in the form of extra thickness is used to provide more strength where deck hardware, bow and stern rails and life line stanchions are thru-bolted, and in other areas of high stress such as at the bow, transom comers, and in the keel cavity.

The Features of your Sailing Home:
     A storage locker in the cockpit seat provides access to the huge space beneath the cockpit - perfect for storage of sails and other bulky items.  It has a securely locking hatch - as do all the hatches on found on your Voyager.
     The navigation-communication center (photo right) is located at the after end of the cabin, close to the helm.  Designed to serve the needs of the cruising yachtsman, the center provides ample workspace for plotting courses and communicating with other vessels.

     Voyager's 6' 6" quarterberth (photo below, center) makes an especially comfortable berth for one.  It has a huge storage space below and a convenient full length shelf above extending aft from the navigation station.  The forward end of the quarterberth serves as a chair height seat for your navigator.

     Headroom in the vanity and head areas is a full 6' 2".  If a skipper wants more headroom here or in the forward cabin or main salon, Voyager's cabin flooring can be lowered a few inches.  The hatch in the cabin roof provides ventilation to this area.
     The head (above photo, left) has extra storage below the toilet, in a lift-out bin behind the toilet, and in lockers under the walk-around side deck.  Voyager toilet accessory has on-deck pumpout system which meets all legal requirements for discharge from watercraft. 
     The vanity (above photo, right) has substantial storage in its base with additional storage in the bin and shelf above the counter.
