The Port Sorell 16 is a skiff for rough waters having generous freeboard and fairly full sections fore and aft. This means, that for her type, she is a good load carrier and can be rowed single or double. For those wanting a good general purpose rowing skiff for use also as a tender or fishing boat, she is an excellent choice

She uses approximately 5 sheets of 4, 5 or 6mm ply—if required she could take a small sail rig or use a small electric outboard.

The drawings give the plank shapes and details for simple stitch and tape construction and also the mould/jig details for those wanting to build her with clinker/ply.

LOA 15’6” (4.71m); Hull beam 4’4” (1.33m). Approx. wht. in 4mm ply 95lbs (43kg).
