HALFLING

Our most popular do-it-yourself design, Halfling is a cute little sailing pram that breaks in half for nested storage. It is an ideal tender for a larger boat and great for putzing around the harbor. The construction plans are just US$20.00 (US$25.00 for overseas airmail).

Halfling is a perfect building project for the do-it-yourselfer, requiring only general carpentry skills. The plan package includes the Sail Plan, Construction Plan, Lines Plan, and complete instructions. Also included is a Bill of Materials and the addresses of places where all materials and hardware can be purchased. The “References” section of the instructions contains a list of good boat building books for additional help. Halfling is simple and inexpensive to build because the entire boat and its building frame are made from just four sheets of plywood. Sorry, there are no full-size patterns with the plans, but the instructions give clear guidance on how all the parts are laid out onto the wood. Expect construction to take about 100 hours or less.

HALFLING goes to France!

One of our customers, Christian Cheviron, built Halfling at his home in Sommecaise, France, southeast of Paris, and he sent the following pictures:
