A delightful, traditional dinghy design, with fine lines and classic styling ... The hull features a wine glass transom, a hint of tumblehome in the aft sections, a gracefully curved sheerline to a clipper shaped bow with moderate flare in the bow sections. This dinghy has been designed to provide exceptional sailing and rowing characteristics and will move easily through the water leaving very little wake.
Simple Wood Strip Construction
This hull has been designed for ease of construction for the home boat builder. The cedar strip method of building a small craft, is an ideal method for a person with limited woodworking skills, and minimum tools, to create a beautiful, clear finished, round bottom wooden boat. Even though the hull is clear finished and gorgeous, it is still very well protected with a sheathing of Epoxy Plus and fiberglass cloth inside and out. It will require a minimal amount of maintenance and be extremely durable over the many years of use. it will be a small craft that will give you a tremendous feeling of satisfaction, not only because it is yours, but also from knowing that you have created your very own "work of art" with your own hands. A completed strip plank hull is a beautiful sight to behold and it will become one of your priceless possessions. Get started on a great winter time, or rainy day project. You'll be glad that vou did!
