Description
This latest version of the Drake series of sharpies was drawn up for someone who had already purchased the plans for the Drake 11 but then decided that the 11 footer was going to be too big for his purposes and wanted a 9'6" version. I drew her originally for stitch and tape construction but then added details for her to be built using the ply plank on frame build method with either an internal or external chine stringer.
Full details are given for a sprit rig with daggerboard and rudder.
