Skylark 6'
Plans
$72 England & EU
$61 USA/Elsewhere 

Although only 6’ long we have given her good internal volume with a beam of 3’8’’. This gives plenty of buoyancy in the ends of the boat so that she does not exhibit the usual tippiness of craft of this size. Her overall weight will be less than 50 lbs. and could be a lot less if she were made from 4mm ply. This and her inherent stability make her ideal for fishing with one or two crew or for a first boat for the children. As with the other Skylarks, construction is simple stitch and tape using pre-shaped ply panels. Two sheets of 4 or 6mm ply are used. Sail area is 24 sq.ft. LOA 6’; Beam 3’8’’; Sail Area 24 sq.ft.
