launched in 2003, This is a fifty two inch long sharpie made of pine "Lattuce" leftover Okuome plywood for the deck, and a lot of epoxy. I didn't really make a drawing to go by except for a pair of cardboard patterns for the sides sprung around frames to test the shape. This is how I imagine the real sharpies were made sort-of by rule of thumb. She has semi patriotic sails and a removable fin keel that goes in the "Centerboard trunk".
