Actually it should be built like a plywood dingy, but on foam sheets
(glass weave+epoxy) Plywood hull weight max 80Kg's.

Looking for plans...

Type:
Stable, 16-18", large-lake sailing (+ row + 5hp) camping dingy.

Easy to sail with only (1) big sail or auto fock (is that understandable
language around here?) Easy removable smart keel or center plate.
Suitable for 1 person sailing and transport.



It looks like Jon welsfords' Walkabout fits the bill quite well:

easy lug rig with mizzen, so it is kinda self tacking. Unstayed masts that
are easily stepped, a long and resonably wide floor for sleeping
(centerboard is off center) and a tent designed for it too.

The construction seems quite doable (lapstrake ply epoxy over stringers and
frames) but isn't the fastest method around. I would not advise to build it
in any other method than the one it was designed for, esp not in GRP/GRE.
That actually weights more than normal plywood. Wrap your plywood in epoxy
glass if you think you need that, but it adds a lot to the weight and does
not remove the need for a layer of (good) paint once in a while.
