Home > Boat > Appie

Meet Appie. Hi Appie... (Pronounced sort of like "uppy") Appie is the result of my little brother saying "lets build a boat", and I'd secretly been saving up plywood for just that purpose :-) Not a lot of ply though, so Appie is a very small boat.

Appie was built in about a week, working pretty chill and relaxed. The ply used was mostly scraps I'd scrounged from here and there, and all the framing lumber came from pallets. The bottom is 4mm ply, and the sides and bow and stern are 7mm ply. All the work was done using only hand tools (I don't recommend ripping a 2m long plank in half by handsaw). We used gorilla glue throughout, and finally painted with leftovers from painting the house.
