ElkinsDIY.com Presents:
The Lil' Dipper hull is made from one folded sheet of 4mm fluted plastic. 4 bolts hold the hull together. Two 1x2 rail boards were grooved and added to help support the hull. The forward and rear deck was screwed down to these rails using washer screws. The seat is made of multi cross layered coroplast. It also adjusts in angle and bends forward for cargo storage in the rear. No glue, tape or painting was needed. Total weight, 19 pounds. I made a light weight paddle using PVC and scrap fluted plastic. Several paddle design variations were tried out before deciding on this. The boat has no attachment point for a keel or skeg. The white 'U' shaped fin was an attempt to keep the boat from wandering, but it created too much drag for my liking. I may attach it again when a good breeze comes along for proper sailing. I really like this boat!
Plans available soon on my website (ElkinsDIY.com)
