For those who want to build
a classically designed double ended clinker craft, this boat
has been developed from the Shetland Skiff and North American
Peapod dinghy. Construction is greatly simplified from the
conventional clinker method and kept to a low cost by using
a stringer system to which 1/4’’ ply strakes are
pinned and shaped to form a simple clinker hull with no steam
bent frames or conventional copper riveting.

The stringers are initially
positioned over temporary chipboard moulds and fastened to
a backbone and the ply planks are then cut oversize and glued
to the stringers before trimming to size. She is a graceful
craft for the more advanced builder or the beginner willing
to study, practice and take his time. Beam is 4’9’’.
The plans are on a single sheet showing lines, offsets, basic
construction method and sprit sail plan. Details are also
given of an alternative gunter sail plan and centreboard arrangement.
