Saboteer Plans & Patterns |
|
 |
|
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 and material list.

A big ten-footer. |
| For many years, I built boats with kids at a middle-school in Coos Bay. We built the Sabotina and a Saboteer. The Sabotina was stitch and glue, the Saboteer, ply on frame. It was a much bigger boat, yet very light. We built it as a rowboat, marine fir on mahogany. SS fastenings, System 3 epoxy. The customer was pleased, but I think it would have been worth the effort and expense to scarf mahogany 1066 panels. Since I knew what I was doing the project went along very quickly. Maybe 30 hrs. I am a big fan of the standing lug sail as all the spars are short enough to stow in the boat. The rig is very managable I get my sails as a kit from Sailrite. Fun to make. |
