Prospector 17
Plans
$104 England & EU
$88 USA/Elsewhere 


The example above and below is by Alec Jordan (Jordan Boats).

We developed the hull panel shapes for a stretched version of the Fisher Prospector some time ago and now we have completed the set of drawings. She has the same 5 planks per side, generous rocker to the bottom and tumblehome in her topsides that the original version has. In 6mm ply, she weighs approximately 95lbs (43kg).

Below an example by Julian Allwood and family.
