Drake 15' 6" Sharpie Plans

 A small standing lug has been drawn to provide auxiliary power when not rowing and she will also take a small outboard. To keep weight down and construction simple there is no centreboard or daggerboard - the chines have been extended to help grip the water and offer lateral resistance.

 The drawings show two ways to build the hull - traditional ply over frame with the framework set up on a strongback or floor and the ply sides wrapped around the frames or, modern stitch and tape construction. For ply over frame the chine stringer/log can be internal or external.

 The plans include the hull panel and frames shapes for 2 versions - the original with an internal beam of 3'9" and a Mark 2 with a beam of 4'6".
