Other New Craft

Here are some examples of boats built over the years - in time I plan to expand upon the descriptions and detail, to give some sort of a perspective on developing my ideas from experience (October 2012)

Acorn 15

design by Iain Oughtred, built 2010.
This boat, named "Gannet" was painted by a specialist finisher.

Atlantic Rowing Boat

ZEINA II

30 ft traditional Thames river launch, designed by Iain Oughtred. Launched in 1987.
Construction - clinker ply over laminated frames. Fit-out in Iroko.
Power - petrol engine, later replaced with electric propulsion.

Norfolk Punts SCOOT 1992 & GOOSANDER1994

This 20 ft design by FB was "traditional" in conception and featured a gaff-rigged mainsail with a curved gaff (both boats subsequently sported bermudian rigs). They both carried a good deal of "aesthetic weight". (CUCKOO was built to the same sort of specification). They were meant to be "cruising punts" rather than out-and -out racing boats - the weight and hull form made them relatively forgiving.
