Description
This is a very simple stitch and tape design using 5 sheets of 9mm (3/8") ply with pre-shaped hull panels and transoms. With a beam of 4'6" and a mid depth of 16" she has plenty of room for fishing, camping or for family pic-nics.
She may be rowed but is primarily designed to be powered by an outboard of between 2 and 20 h.p. The design is very adaptable and she could easily be fitted out with a cuddy or sailing rig. Curlew may also be made in two halves for easy transport. Details are also given for a deeper version.
