While SABOTEER is similar in hull form and type to our famous
SABOTINA, it’s much larger and an even better performer
when it comes to sailing, rowing, or towing. Yet it’s
nearly as easy to build. Only one sheet of ¼" x
4' x 8' and two sheets of ¼" x 4' x
10' plywood are required (simple joining options in the
plans allow 8' panels if 10' sheets not available).
SABOTEER features options such as a kick-up rudder and 2-part
mast so the rig can be stowed within the boat. The
free-standing low-cost wood mast is easy to make and slips
readily into the sleeved sail. Or you can omit the rig and
daggerboard and use as a rowboat, or hook on a small motor.
The lightweight craft is easily trailed, cartopped, or
carried in vans and pickups.
Construction is done over a simple jig and 3 temporary forms
plus the boat’s bow and stern transoms. We provide the
FULL-SIZE PATTERNS for all these members so no lofting or
layouts are required. Rudder and daggerboard patterns are
also provided, plus instructions, material list, and plywood
layouts.
To make SABOTEER even faster and easier to build, we also
have kits including Fastening Kits (the first thing you need
to start assembling), and Fiberglass Covering Kits (used on
the exterior after plankking panels installed). See
detailed descriptions below.
