After building a skin-on-framke kayak, i'd like to try building my next boat skin-on-frame. i enjoy the construction and it's nice to not have to use any epoxy. i'd like to build a scow-like boat somewhere in the 12-foot range.. Skin on frame (sof) is not only one of the oldest methods for building a boat, it is also one of the easiest. to build a boat, one covers a frame with fabric. the simplest sof craft are made from plywood frames and wooden stringers. more complex designs use steamed ribs to hold stringers.. Skin on frame boats are delightful boats that steal the show. whenever you arrive on shore in one you will be admired, and probably asked a few questions. "what is it made of?" "how light is it?" or maybe just "wow, cool boat." hermit cove skin on frame boats are uniquely designed to make them incredibly easy to build..
This is the first picture of the boat, june 22, 2013. the 3 (fore & aft are identical) frames were based on the delaware ducker in chapelle american small sailing craft, note that i increased the freeboard another 2 or 3".about 1.5" of rocker were forced into each end, gunwales are about 1.5" x .75".. How to build a 'skin on frame' boat - and why why skin on frame: skin on frame boat building can be one of the fastest, most satisfying, skills-rich projects you can do. it teaches you essential skills to build almost any wooden boat..
