Young skippers with a knack for woodwork and a flair for sailing will have no difficulty building or handling this jaunty little skiff. All wood construction prevents her from sinking when swamped.
This is a simple-to-build, safe skiff for youngsters. Being all wood construction she will not sink when swamped, but will be easily righted, bailed out, and afloat again in thort order. She can be run up on the beach for picnics by pulling up the centerboard and unshipping the rudder. She is built with frames at each station shown on the Lines drawing, planked on the bottom with %“ cedar, and on the sides with either %“ Douglas fir plywood or ½” or %“ cedar. The deck is plywood. The spars are solid for easy building. Any boys who can do good woodwork should build her without difficulty.
