The kit can be built very quickly and easily using our gear chine© method of hull construction. The Amanda features a cockpit with full length seat tanks, dagger board and a mast collar for a simple lug rig.  The seat tanks provide the buoyancy necessary for successful capsize recoveries, an essential feature of a small boat.

He found her to be well balanced, close winded with a good turn of speed and a solid comfortable feeling. The green hull Sase-Amanda (below) was built at Mystic in 2011 and was finished off after the show with twin electric outboards and solar panels. The PVC solar\/awning frame and outboards can be removed in a couple of minutes and it reverts back to a rowing or sailing skiff. With a 4 hp outboard and 2 adults plus an 80 lb dog, our top speed was 6.8 knots.

Our kits are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances. Instead of plain cut plywood panels, your kit will come with various joining methods which will make it much easier and much faster to assemble. The plywood for the hull panels and longitudinal bulkheads are joined using machined finger scarfs which produce a simple and effective plywood joint for scarfing the long side and bottom panels. Wire holes for stitching are pre-drilled for you. Bulkheads, both transverse and longitudinal, are tenoned into position. Stringer positions are “CNC-drawn” onto the side panels and bulkheads are cut to accommodate the stringers.
