Scow 420

14 foot simple camper sailboat for two, designed for protected or inlands waters.

A very simple boat to build with basic tools and material, all plywood parts have the same thickness.

I recommend to use epoxy, without fiberglass, on the bottom of the hull, chines and all edges.

The plans detail all the dimensions, the parts nesting on plywood sheets, and the complete building sequence in 3D.

The junk rig sail is a major part of the design, you can obviously replace it by a lug sail without any structural change.

Note:  These plans are a little different in that there are few words, mostly just drawings with dimensions (both metric and imperial available). It is such a simple boat to build that this is all that is necessary. Below are thumbnails of the pages that are included.

Scow 420 "Cruiser"

14 foot simple cruiser sailboat for two overnight or three for a day cruise, design for protected or inlands waters.

This scow should be a good compromise, with the comfort of the Scow 450, in a lighter and much simpler package.

11 sheets of ACX 3/8" plywood.

I recommend using epoxy, without glass fiber, on the bottom of the hull, chines and all edges.

The plans detail all the dimensions of the parts, how the parts nest on plywood sheets, a  complete building sequence in 3D and some detail pictures.

The junk rig sail is a major part of the design, with a hinged batten system that improves performance to windward.
