A challenge for boatbuilders: a sweet 10ft clinker-built double-ended skiff

This sweet 10ft clinker-built double-ended skiff looks extremely difficult to build, at least to me - but it’s wonderfully pretty nevertheless

    It would be easy to build in strip plank, wouldn’t it?

    Easier, though still not easy. I’m tempted to model one up using CAD for epoxy lapstrake, but even that will be tricky.

    I just think that anyone who can build this in clinker and make it tight with these hard bends would more than earn my respect. Anyway, I’d love to see someone do it!

    If you’re tempted to do a CAD model, I’d be tempted to build it… if only I had more time!

    It would certainly be interesting to see a bit more ’shape’ than that suggested in the drawings accompanying the original article.

    Fibre Glass ?

    I mean like make a plug roughly that shape with pseudo clinker ?

    Jay Benford has a very similar design in one his books complete with plans.
