it was designed as a cheap boat to be made from a few ( 3? ) sheets of ply of 8 foot x 4 foot.
with the rake of the bow ( transom ), I think it's about 8 foot 4 inches overall. But it's not a cheap homebuild anymore. |

God! I am sooo sick of hearing about Oppies at my club and how the precious little sods in them are doing! They may learn about sailing, but manners seem to pass them by.

I know a club where the parents are determined to avoid Oppies because they don't want to risk becoming Oppie parents...

TOP TIP if you fit wheels on both sides & handles then they make prefect wheelbarrows with the mast brace removed. |
