"SPRITE"
ONE PERSON ROWING SKIFF
DESIGNED BY ANDREW WOOLSTENHOLME |
| |
 |
| |
* Length overall 15' 3" (4.65m)
* Beam 2' 11"(0.9m) Beam over outriggers 4' 8"
(1.42m)
* Weight approx. 55 lb.(25kg)
Sprite has a double chine hull and is built by
the now almost universally known "stitch and tape"
method of construction utilising epoxy resin and
glass tape. The hull shell, frames, floor boards
and chassis for the sliding seat are of marine
ply. The gunwale structure is formed of two laminations
of mahogany separated by a thin laminate of white
wood, which in an addition to contributing to
gunwale strength provides an attractive timber
contrast. The interior of the hull and sliding
seat structure is given four coats of yacht varnish.
The outside is finished with yacht enamel from
a standard colour range. Sliding seat gear is
from a leading supplier of this equipment, and
the outriggers are of stainless steel. It can
be supplied as a kit, as part built, with the
hull and sliding seat chassis ready assembled
or as a boat completely finished, painted and
varnished to our standard specification. Suitable
sculls can be provided as an extra either in rough
form ready for sanding and painting/varnishing
or finished.

"OTTER"
TWO PERSON ROWING SKIFF
DESIGNED BY JACK CHIPPENDALE |
| |
 |
| |
|
* Length overall 19' 0" (5.79m)
* Beams 3' 31/2" (1.0m) over riggers 5' 1/2" (1.54m)
* Weight approx. 100 lb. (45.36kg)
Construction is essentially the same as Sprite,
stitch and tape, using epoxy resins and compatible
glass tape. The 4mm thick marine ply hull is double
chine construction i.e. three planks (panels)
per side. Hull shape and stiffness is effected
by five permanent frames bonded in place with
epoxy mix. Loose floorboards protect the hull
and are held in place by the sliding seat and
stretcher units. The removal of a few stainless
bolts and wingnuts enables these units and the
floor boards to be lifted out leaving the interior
completely open for cleaning out. A wide (35mm)
gunwale/rubbing strake provides strength and protection
to the sheer line as well as a secure fastening
area for the stainless steel outriggers. As with
Sprite, Otter can be supplied in kit form, partly
completed or as a complete and finished boat.
Also as with Sprite suitable sculls can be provided
as an extra either in rough form ready for sanding
and painting/varnishing or finished.
