Description
A lightweight rowing whaler for easy construction. The hull has 4 panels per side plus a narrow flat bottom panel and the hull is symetrical about amidships to make construction even easier.
The hull can be made in 2 halves and bolted together in the middle and a simply outboard well can be incorporated too. Construction is simple stitch and tape with the ply frames fitted after the planking has been stitched together.
Buoyancy can be built-in under the seating or these areas can be used for dry storage.
