A proven seaworthy craft and the original design was used to deliver post to Scottish shores in the 1900's. Its an ideal family boat with wide cockpit and good dry storage space. The stern locker is large enough to store the outboard. The rowing seat is removable leaving a clear cockpit two metres long, which can be camped in overnight with a boom tent. Easy to launch and recover on the trailer and can be towed by the family car.
