This is a one sheet version of the same punt, adjusted to be made of just one sheet of plywood. As it happens, the boat scales down very nicely. The overall shape is conserved beautifully. Both length and beam are 3/4 of the original, so the L/B ratio is the same, about 2.2.

Summer Breeze was designed to be the most boat from the least materials.

One day I decided I need a sculling training boat that is not of fishing boat style, but rather of Olympic style. With a sliding seat, and probably outriggers too.

A fin-tailed 15 foot outboard runabout.
This boat makes a stable fishing platform, and its big cockpit makes it safe for family boating.
