Make your own boat(Plans)

Building a rugged, good looking boat for under $200 provides much of the same satisfaction you get from owning a china bike so I thought I would share this, and possibly post the plans for this boat if anyone is interested as I once printed and saved a copy.

This link is for a popular diy wood boat design that was available on a Finnish designers website for free until recently. He called it the "Portuguese style Dinghy". It is an 8' dinghy that is made using 1 1/2 sheets 1/4" plywood. The designer had a website with over a dozen simple wood boat designs, but unfortunately his site seems to have gone down recently. His website was titled "Hannu's Boatyard". I built several boats using these plans, including an 11' skiff based on the Portuguese style dinghy. These are great semi flat bottom boats that can be sailed, motored, or rowed.

Here is an 11' I made using the plans from "Hannu's Boatyard". october 2011 096.jpg
