ROCKLAND 11'
 |
This dinghy was developed from our Skylark Mk 2 series of pram dinghies. The dinghy retains the flat, rockered bottom panel and the side panels are round bilge in shape and are either cold moulded or strip planked over the moulds which are drawn full size. The plans show her as a rowing dinghy but she could easily take a sail plan with centreboard or daggerboard and rudder - we can supply sail details from one of our other designs for this purpose. |

SUNRAY 11'
|
The
Sunray was designed for Brightwater Boats - she is built using the clinker ply
method with the ply frames and girders set up together on a strongback. She has
a foredeck and aft tank plus side benches. LOA 11'10" (3.6m); Beam
4'8" (1.43m); Weight approx. 120 lbs (54 kg) - using 4 or 5mm ply; Sail
Area 78 sq.ft. (8.89 sq.m).
Note - the plans do give computer faired frame shapes etc and several details but she is better tackled by a builder who has used the clinker/ply method previously and has some experience with the method. |

CEGALL 11'
|
The Cegall has been designed for Chippendale Craft and is very much based upon the 14' Kingfisher design. The method of construction is just the same with a pre-shaped ply centre girder forming the centreboard case and stem - this is epoxied to the narrow flat centre hull panel to form a very strong 'T' girder onto which the ply frames and transom are fixed. Following the finishing of the basic ply framework, the pre-shaped ply hull panels are fitted and the chines finished with epoxy. LOA 11' (3.36m); Beam 5'2" (1.57m); Draft 7"/3'1" (0.17/0.94m); Weight around 150 lbs (68 kg); Sail Area 66 sq.ft. (6.15 sq.m.). Kits, part complete and complete boats from Chippendale Craft Ltd., Unit 1, Rock Channel, Rye, Sussex, TN31 7HJ. Tel. 01797 227707. |

MEDWAY DOBLE 12'6"
|
The Medway Doble was drawn up for Mr. John Lidstone who, having already built one of our Highlander dayboats, wanted a lightweight, car toppable craft of double ended shape suitable for river and estuary rowing and sailing. She has plenty of room for a family and can be used for both beach camping and fishing. Her small transom can take an outboard hung over and behind the rudder which has a tiller that comes up through a hole in the transom. This neat arrangement allows the tiller to be used without interference from the outboard. There are also fore and aft decks with space under for storage or buoyancy. The construction is based upon 4 1/2 sheets of 6mm (1/4) ply using the stitch and tape method from pre-shaped hull panels. LOA 126; Beam 46; Draft 7/211; Approx. wht. 95 lbs. As with all our drawings, full details are given for the sails and spars. |

RHUM 11'6"
| This is a very simple 116x5 V bottomed dinghy for general purpose use. Her V bottom and 5 beam gives her both stability and a good turn of speed under both oars and sails. She can be built as a pure rowing/outboard motor dinghy for fishing or use as a tender or she can be fitted out as a sailing dinghy. The rig and daggerboard can be fitted after she has first been constructed as a rowing boat and the standard rig is the gunter which enables the spars to fit inside the length of the hull for easy trailing. Construction is based upon the stitch and tape method and she can be put together in under 30 hours using just 4 sheets of 6mm exterior ply for the rowing version with an additional sheet required for the sailing version. Weight is around 90 lbs. |

PETREL 13' CATBOAT
|
13x 6x 8(29 with board down). A miniature cat boat of traditional design given modern construction techniques. Using the stitch and tape method with pre-shaped ply hull panels weight, cost and building time are reduced to a minimum. Although only 13 long there is plenty of room and the decking gives dry stowage. Approx. wht. 250 lbs |

13' WOODLARK CATBOAT
|
Very
much on the lines of the American Cat Boat, we have been able to retain much of
the character of these charming boats by using a round bilge hull shape simply
made using strip planks over chipboard moulds. The planks can be of most easily
obtainable woods with Cedar or Douglas Fir being favourite. The moulds
(sectional shapes given to you on the plans) need no lofting as they have come
directly off our CAD system which automatically fairs the lines to 1mm accuracy
and the 10mm planking is glued with epoxy without the need for bevelling.
Whilst only 13 long, she
has with her catboat shape, plenty of space for family sailing and beach
camping. The centreplate may be of steel adding even more stiffness to the boat
and the rig is a simple cat working boat rig with a minimum of strings. LOD 13;
Beam 6; Draft 9/28; Sail Area 115 sq. ft. Plans include details for
an inboard engine/bilge keel alternative and moulds for clinker/ply
construction.

FISHER SWAMPSCOTT 12'
|
This
is the first of a new line of dinghies and dories which combine traditional
looks and performance with quick and easy methods of construction. We have been
able to modify the normal clinker plank shapes for this boat so that they can be
stitched together and finished with epoxy/tape seams. This produces a design
that can be made without any building moulds and which has frames in its
construction.
The Fisher Swampscott 12, which, at a length of 12 and beam of 42 and with 9mm bottom and garboard planks, is just 66 lbs. in weight and takes only 30 hours to build (including all marking out). She takes just 2 sheets of 9mm and 2 sheets of 6mm exterior or marine ply plus a few lengths of Douglas Fir. Because of her light weight, she can be easily car topped and her simple sprit rig is ideal for family sailing. Other rigs can be supplied. Details are also given for a slightly wider beam version with a wider transom. |

12'4" PETITE BRISE
|
We
have 4 or 5 Swampscotts (plus several other Dories of different type) with their
rockered bottom panel and rounded topsides.
The Petite Brise 12'4" Dory Skiff was designed to be used as the new tender for the famous Jolie Brise French Pilot Cutter sailed by the Dauntseys School Sailing Club. Their requirement was for a traditional looking craft (to go with JB) that would take a lot of punishment when used by pupils and charterers and which would be safe for use by youngsters and could also be used to teach them basic boat work and sailing techniques. Construction had to be strong, light (the boat is stowed on deck) and capable of being built by pupils at the school. Construction is simple stitch and tape (we also have the mould shapes for clinker/ply) and uses just 4 1/2 sheets of ply. If built with 9mm bottom and 6mm sides, she is light enough to be car topped - they have also been built with fore and side decks. LOA 124 (3.76m); Beam 45 (1.35m); Sail Area 70 sq.ft. (6.5 sq.m); |

12/14' HOBO
|
A client contacted me with the requirement for a self build or kit club racing dinghy for her daughter as a step up from the Mirror dinghies and which could also be built quickly and cheaply by a youngster. The HOBO 12 is the result. LOA 126; Beam 410; Max Draft 33; Sail Areas, Main 60 sq.ft., Jib 24 sq.ft; Hull weight approx 125 lbs. Hull construction takes 4 1/2 sheets of 6mm and a couple of sheets of 4mm ply and starts by using the pre-shaped deck as a building base onto which are fixed the ply frames and girders which slot together and form the cockpit and hull shape. The prefabricated centreboard case is then fitted followed by the hull skin. Construction is quick and simple and you end up with a fast and exciting club racing dinghy which is the next step towards a Fireball. She may also be used with the mainsail only and full details are given for making your own spars. Details are also given for a 14' hull length. |

TODAY 11'
  
|
| This useful dinghy was commissioned from us by the magazine SAILING TODAY and features as a series of articles on her construction in the Feb, March and April 1999 issues. the magazine wanted a simple but attractive plywood craft to be built using stitch & and tape techniques which would be able to accommodate 2 or 3 adults and which could be used as a good sized tender, fishing boat and a dinghy that could be used to teach youngsters how to sail. There are several options including a central storage box running along the centreline in which the oars etc can be stowed. The plans show both daggerboard and centreboard options and we can give details for an alternative gunter rig with a jib. The hull is based upon our Highlander 11 design but in this case we have gone for a rounded sharp bow and a narrow flat bottom panel. Construction starts by attaching the centre box sides to the bottom panel giving a very strong central 'T' girder to which is attached the remaining hull panels and ply frames. LOA 11' (3.36m); Beam 5'2" (1.57m); Draft 7"/3'1" (0.17/0.95m); Approx. wht 125 lbs. (57 kg); Sail Area 65 sq.ft. (6.05 sq.m.). |

YW HERON
  |
| The 11'3" Heron class sailing dinghy was originally designed by Jack Holt and has been around now, for many years - many sailors first took to the water in a Heron and she remains a positive favourite amongst young and old alike with a very active Class Association which organizes open meetings and a National Championship. The Association asked Selway Fisher to develop hull construction details to build the Heron using modern stitch & tape methods with epoxy glues - this to make the hull faster, lighter, easier and cheaper to build in plywood. You will also need the original drawings - go to - www.heron-dinghy.org.uk ). |

11' SOUTH COAST SCOW
 |
The
clinker scow is a very popular little dinghy on the South Coast of
England. Many are raced regularly by enthusiasts and many a big boat
sailor learnt their seamanship on boats such as these. We
were asked to draw up this example to replace a rotting example and so
she encompasses many of the traditional featuresfixed rudder blade,
centreplate with simple lift and a lug rig making her excellent for
single handed sailing. She has the very stable hull shape of the older
scows and is constructed using the clinker ply process with moulds
erected on a building jig. LOA
113 (3.43m); Beam 49 (1.45m); Draft
7 (0.18m)/22 (0.65m); Sail Area 65 sq.ft. (6 sq.m)
