Description
We were asked by the Ibis Boatworks to develop a traditional punt for lake use which would have a length that would come out of 2 sheets of plywood - so we used the 20’ Cambridge Punt (page DA13) as a basis - the result is a pretty punt with a length of 15’4” (4.68m)and a beam of 4’3” (1.3m). Mid depth is a generous 14” (0.35m). Details are shown for folding seats and an outboard well - she can also be built in 2 halves for easy storage and simple car-topping.
