A 10' Plywood Runabout

Tern is a lengthened (to 23'9') version of my earlier 20' design Ratty.

An ultralight solo pack canoe weighing in at 26 lbs. Carry the boat in one hand, your paddle in the other.

A boat to take you to all the shallow water places that most sailors never see up close (deep water places too). At only 95 lbs it is easily car topped or trailered and can even be launched from many places without a ramp.

Footloose combinines the traditional lines and salty looks of the classic flatty skiff, with the ease of building and seamless integrity of plywood construction for unclomplicated boating.

You think : I’d sure like to have a little harbor skiff to scoot around in the harbor/lake/river. And building a boat looks like fun, but I’ve never done it before; Not sure if I’m up to it.

If you are considering building a wood-epoxi Optimist dinghy, you will definitely need our Optimist Dinghy Template Plans.
