Title: Punt/Skiff
Post by: Dave on July 16, 2018, 08:56:41 PM
I've decided to give building my own boat a go. :-\

Its going to be a Punt/ Skiff /Jon boat type boat. That's essentially a flat bottomed boat with a slight angle up at the front and a flat prow.

I decided to go with this design because of it relative ease of build and because this will be the first one I've ever built. Plus I'm not good with wood. ::)

There are a good few videos out there so Im lookijng through them for inspiration at the minute.

I've had to go back to the drawing board with this. The initial design was too square and needs to be tweaked. I'm also looking at lightening up some of the structure to increase the buoyancy.
