This is a simple compact little boat perfect for camp cruising and family recreation. The sheet ply hull draws 9" with the board up, allowing access to square miles of explorable shallows where deeper boats can't go. With an LOA of 18'-1", and a beam of 6'-10" it trailers easily and still provides overnight accomodation. Out in open water the centerboard reaches down almost 4' and a sail area of 160 square feet powers the slippery hull. Boats this size have made notable passages and can also be modified for specific conditions.

The hard chine ply hull is about as simple to build as is possible for a boat with this capability, and can be reinforced with epoxy, fiberglass cloth and tape as required. This nicely drawn and very detailed set of Frank Davis plans include four large format sheets of prints including lines, mast and spar details, sails, hardware, etc.
