|
Kestral is a beautiful 15’ Peapod type craft with four planks per side. The
drawings give the plank shapes for simple stitch and epoxy construction but she
could either be strip planked or built using the clinker ply method. She would
make a very efficient rowing boat without the sail and she can carry 3 or 4
adults easily. For sailing we have given her a very simple sprit rig which can
be mounted and demounted quickly. She uses 6 sheets of 5 or 6mm plywood and half
a sheet of 12mm ply (for the sailing version). LOD 14’11’’ (4.53m); Beam 4’9’’
(1.47m); Hull depth amidships 1’6’’ (.45m); Approx. wht 150 lbs (68kg).
Note - the plans now have the stitch and tape plank shapes etc for a 5 plank per side version. |

|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is a beautiful double ender for simplified strip plank and epoxy construction. Temporary moulds are set up with pre-shaped stem, stern post and hog and then the boat is planked with thin strips of Cedar glued edge to edge with epoxy giving a traditional round bilge American Peapod which are renowned for their rowing capabilities. She may be half decked giving dry stowage space or left open for maximum carrying capacity. LOA 15’; Beam 4’3’’; Details of the sailing rig are shown on the drawings. |

| 12'3" PLOVER DOUBLE ENDED SWAMPSCOTT/SURF DORY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This design is based on a double ended version of our 12' 4" Petite Brise Swampscott dinghy - https://www.selway-fisher.com/Other1013.htm#PETITE Swampscotts as a breed usually have a narrow 'tombstone' transom making them more or less double ended (semi Swampscott dorys have a wider transom) - when they end up with a true 'sharp' aft end, they become 'surf' dorys She can be constructed in stitch and tape or, using the building jog details given, in clinker/ply. The Plover can be built as a pure rowing boat or with the rig - details for a daggerboard are shown but there is also room for a centreboard. She is a jaunty and attractive little boat that can take 2 or 3 sailing and 3 or 4 rowing. |

| 14'9" GREBE PEAPOD | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This design is a symmetrical Peapod - in other words the front and back of the hull are exactly the same which is how most Peapods were designed and built. The length is the maximum that can be obtained by butting 2 sheets of standard 8' plywood together and her beam has been set for comfortable exercise rowing without the need for outriggers. She can be fitted out with a simple ply or solid wood fixed centre thwart or she can be fitted with a sliding seat (details of a basic sliding seat are given on the drawings). |
