With 5 planks per side plus a narrow hog plank, construction is simplified, yet the lines remain beautifully \u201ceye sweet\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n She\u2019s built from just 3 sheets of 6mm plywood<\/strong> and weighs around 90 lbs (41 kg)<\/strong>, making her easy to handle ashore. The sail rig can be added later, so you can start rowing and upgrade to sailing when ready. The bow can be customized to your taste, though traditional stem details are included in the plans.<\/p>\n Key Specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n Length Overall (LOD):<\/strong> 9\u20191\u201d (2.77 m)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Beam:<\/strong> 4\u20192\u201d (1.26 m)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Draft:<\/strong> 6\u201d \/ 2\u20196\u201d (0.16 \/ 0.76 m)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sail Area:<\/strong> 43 sq.ft (4 sq.m)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Approx.
