A new design is being build tested at this time: LAPWING (a wading bird) A daysailer that combines classic panache with attitude. The traditional lapstrake look of her hull, belies Lapwing's thoroughly modern performance. The construction uses glued (epoxied) plywood strakes built over a jig. Unlike traditional lapstrake construction, there are no frames, so the interior of the hull is clean. She has 8 strakes per side, giving her a nice round-bilged hull form. After the build-testing is completed, it is our intention to offer Lapwing as a plan, with full size jig AND strake patterns. We also expect to be able to offer the boat in kit form, either a jig only kit or as a jig and strake kit.
We will be updating as work progresses - and
check out the messing-about forum for more information from the build test.
