St Michaels Sailing Scow

THE BAY'S ODDEST ONE-DESIGN

By Craig O'Donnell.

This boat is 12 feet long, and it caught my eye the first

time I saw it in the Small Craft Building at CBMM.
Although it's pictured in A Heritage in Wood the plans
(on two sheets of typing paper) were hiding in the Library
files.
So I got a copy of the plans and built a model 1/3
real size. Next I'd like to build one full-size, using
plywood. Since I'd be the entire one-design fleet at
that point, I'd change the sail plan to a sprit-boom
with club and use a leeboard so that there is sprawling space in the
cockpit.

And there you have it. Click on the thumbnails below to see the plans as large
GIF files suitable for building from; it's only a scow after all.
