The Ruddy Duck has been based upon our simple flat bottomed Eider Duck Punt. We were asked to alter her for more serious rowing by a crew of 2 so we went for a double ended hull shape with a âVâ bottom and more rocker. The plans give details for both simple stitch & tape and ply-over-frame construction techniques. Details for the outriggers are given and she could take a simple sail plan with either a daggerboard or leeboards.
