I'm searching for plans that could be used to create a round bottom
sailing skiff using the cedar strip type construction. I was thinking
of something anywhere from 10' to 14' long. I was hoping to find
something trim and handsome, with probably a single sail.

It doesn't have to have a deck forward, but that probably is what a
skiff is anyway, open.

A smallish day sailer would work too, but I'm having trouble finding
round bottom versions of them.

Lots of stitch and glue plywood boats out there but I'm really not
interested in building using that type of construction.

Any hints? Names? Companies?

Newfound Woodworks Inc. has a Newfound Wherry that they've put a sail
to that looks very much like what I'm talking about. And perhaps
that's what I'll end up building. But I thought I'd check the
collective knowledge and see if there are other such plans out there.

See http://www.newfound.com/wherry.htm for the Newfound Wherry.

Thanks all, Corky Scott

Clark Craft has an array of kits for strip building. for many months I
coveted this strip built dinghy:
http://www.clarkcraft.com/cgi-local/...694cab27928c59
which they call Classic Dinghy 10' Cedar. When I looked tonight, I
could not find the page where they show it with a sailing rig option,
but I am 100% certain they did offer it as such.

I eventually went for the stitch and glue Argie 10 by Dudley Dix, which
I built for my daughter, but i still want to build the cedar one

Clark Craft has an interesting site in any event, just browsing around
you'll find a lot of info I think. www.clarkcraft.com

Have fun,

Jonathan
