    Plans available where ?

    Since when is this a skiff, since it looks like a scow or pram to me ?

    " T " is that the draft ? - If so, why does the 3" (= 76.2 mm) [90 ?] dimension line not run along the underside of the keelson ?

    12' and weighting 80 kg (176.4 lbs) of mostly plywood, where's all that weight hidden ? - Which hull thicknesses is this all about ?

    12' = 3,658 mm, what's [4,389 (mm ?) / 14.4' / 14' 4 51⁄64"] ? - To what units are the [....] translated ?

    How come a 1962 plywood Mirror dinghy (45.4 kg - 100 lbs) with more displacement* weighs just over half of the post #1 design ?

    * designed for 2 crew makes me guess it has more than 104 kg (229 lbs) carrying capacity, the 1990s plywood version of the sailing Miracle dinghy for 1-4 crew weighs 59 kg (130 lbs).

    Well I can see the reason, the abundant built in flotation of the interior also structural supports the hull in the Mirror and Miracle, I'm just wondering who wants the post #1 80 kg (176 lbs) boat with only 104 kg (229 lbs) carrying capacity, probably to be deducted by a motor or sailing rig and oars ?

    Oh, I'll guess the lower dimension lines for the draft and hull depth are interchanged, anyway all that messing up doesn't make clear at all what's meant, so it looks to me like a disaster to build, such as like the mentioned figures also do not translate to each other.

    I'm just reviewing my own questions and try to answer them myself, if you don't mind me doing so, but so far I've maybe only got one, so I'm stuck with the rest for now. Maybe the other posted pram dinghies here give some inspiration to work it out further ?

    Looks to me like the draft is 5”. The side elevation drawing shows the sheer to the WL as 1’-5 3/4”. Forward elevation shows the sheer to bottom of the keelson as 1’-10 3/4”.

    Not sure what T represents but my guess is that’s the bottom of the plywood hull, meaning that the keelson is 2” tall.

    Just my guesses...

    Deering, you're right and thank you very much for your warning. I have corrected the drawing, clarifying the information contained therein.
