Esk - 12' 6"
Plans
$72 England & EU
$61 USA/Elsewhere 

The example above is by Bob Day.

Like her bigger sister, the 12’ 6” Esk is a development of our Dart design. She has the swept up bow and flared out forward sections to help her in choppy waters—and we have retained the knife edge to the rear sections to give her good directional stability.

She has water-tight compartments in both ends and space for water-tight stowage. Construction is for easy stitch and tape ply using 3-4 sheets of 4mm plywood.

The finished example left and below is by Robin Waistell of Albatross boats.
