Kestral is a beautiful 15’
Peapod type craft with four planks per side. The drawings
give the plank shapes for simple stitch and epoxy construction
but she could either be strip planked or built using the
clinker ply method. She would make a very efficient rowing
boat without the sail and she can carry 3 or 4 adults easily.

For sailing we have given
her a very simple sprit rig which can be mounted and demounted
quickly. She uses 6 sheets of 5 or 6mm plywood and half
a sheet of 12mm ply (for the sailing version). LOD 14’11’’
(4.53m); Beam 4’9’’ (1.47m); Hull depth
amidships 1’6’’ (.45m); Approx. wht 150
lbs (68kg).
