Esk - 14' 6"
Plans
$72 England & EU
$61 USA/Elsewhere 
Example at left by Robert Wagenvoort

The 14’ 6” Esk is a development of our Dart design. We have swept the bow up and flared out the forward sections to help her in choppy waters—aft, we have given her a 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 4 sheets of 4mm plywood.
