by Tom Hill and Jon Wilson
Plans include three variations on the hull:
LOA: 14'
Beam Length: 4'3"
Draft: 6"
Displacement: for rowing version: 125 lbs
Propulsion: Sail, oars, 2-hp outboard
Skill Level to Build: Basic
Plans contain 17 sheets of drawings, full-sized mold patterns so no lofting is required (no offsets are included with the plans). Boat requires 2 sheets of 1/4" ply, and 2 Sheets of 3/8" ply.The rig is same lug rig as used on the Joel White-designed 7'7" Nutshell Pram, although with a longer (8'-9") mast.
And, check out this thread on our WoodenBoat Forum of a build, and a unique, and significantly larger rig than shown in the plans
