6m Plywood Motor Launch

The popularity of the 6m strip plank design has led to this close sister, designed to be built in plywood with a single chine hull shape. With a similar laypout this launch is a capable weekender or longer camping trips.

She has 2 construction options, 12mm glued ply lapstrake sides and moulded bottom or glass reinforced 15mm WR cedar strip. Deck, cabin and bulkhead fitout are of 9mm ply.

The launch is powered by a 15 to 20hp outboard for good consumption and easy installation.

Though some previous building experience would help, the comnfident handyman would be quite capable for a first time project.
