During September, October, and November 2019, Emily built a lightweight wooden boat, to be used as a sailing, rowing, and motoring dinghy for S/V Temptress. This model is an Eastport Nesting Pram (plans by Chesapeake Light Craft - ). The finished boat weighs approximately 75 lbs, and be just under 8 feet long, made mainly of okoume.
In this episode, Emily makes good use of scraps and screw-up wood. She does a lot of work to the middle seat and flotation chamber, and starts laminating the mast, which will be made of cypress. And of course, makes some mistakes and learns new things along the way.
We are incredibly grateful to Chesapeake Light Craft for sending us free plans for this dinghy ($89 value), so we could share the build process with our YouTube viewers. Thank you to Ed and the team at CLC!
