A miniature version of the classic clinker runabouts of the 1950s.  This one uses plywood for planking.  Lined out nicely it will be a testament to the builder’s eye while providing a stable, low maintenance finish.  The boat is small enough to be built in the garage and requires very modest power.  It’s a small boat, but just big enough for a couple of good friends on a summer’s evening cruise.
