16’x
7’. Very simple construction based upon 7 sheets of
ply and easy ‘V’ section hulls with no centreboards.
Costs have been kept right down by using wood beams and
a simple ply aerofoil section mast. Definitely a sporty
fun boat for the beach and for some competitive single handed
sailing. A poor man’s Hobie cat. Easily demountable
with everything secured by bolts minimal construction time.
