Last year we built one of the
famed Joel White designed Shellback dinghies for a client who now has placed the boat up for sale due to
a change in circumstances.
Construction is clinker/lapstrake ply with laminated celery top
pine backbone and huon Pine fitout.
This boat is a little different from the plans in that she has
built in byouyancy tanks, teak bottm boards and huon pine transom and rudder.
The boat comes fully finished with
painted hull, varnished brightwork, classic cream lugsail and custom oars. These
boats perform very well under oars or sail (a small lug rig) and are perfect for getting out on the water for both older and
younger sailors alike. If you are interested in purchasing this boat, please contact us or call on 0413765984 for further details.
