Late 19th-century skimming-dish sloop designed by Isaac P. Wilkins. Said to have been the most intelligently designed of the extreme skimming-dishes, she had a wide, shoal hull fitted
with a centerboard and a huge press of sail. The plans produce a model that is 20" long.
You'll receive 3 pages of plans, historical information
about the boat, and step-by-step instructions for half-hull building using the lift method and full-sized patterns for each lift, as well as template for you to shape the profile.
Suggested Tools:
If you start with wood pre-planed to thickness, then:
scissors, pencil, coping saw, combo square, hammer, spokeshave, block plane, wood rasp, chisels... 1/2" to 1-1/2", gouge, screwdriver, c-clamps (about a dozen would be handy).
Carpenter's wood glue, sandpaper, shellac/varnish/tung oil--whatever you're going to finish with.
If you like this Schemer model, you should take a look at WoodenBoat issue #37.
