She must be lightweight, have a pram bow, flat bottom (the point of the design to allow sailing in shallow creeks), centerboard, 2 masts, and bowsprit for jib. Sailing only in sheltered waters. Any thoughts on adapting this design, or other ideas? We can build; we just need plans.

The reason for this is that the boat is so much fun with oars and electric motor that I have not finished my rig. The mast and spar are complete. I need to fabricate the sail, rudder, and leeboard. The boat is easy to build and fun to use. It is adaptable for a lot of uses and would make an excellent first-time or group build. Yeah, it’s a box, but beauty is not everything.
