Plywoods

Designed by Howard Chappel, the Wheelbarrow Boat
The Irish Pennant a Wooden Boat built the Spring of 2009 on Cape Cod.

We left off the wheel and the handles this time. The design has a wheel well in the bow with a slot for a wooden wheel exposed to the water and two handles on either side of the transom, extensions of the rub rail.

Hull constructed from Marine Plywood purchased from Boulter Plywood in Somerville Mass
Mahogany used for frames, clamps, and chine purchased at Bottelos in Mashpee as was long gran fur for rub rail.
White pine for seat, skeg and transom purchased locally on the cape as was Oak for the stem and blocks for oar locks. Fasteners and Cuprinol from Jamestown Distributors.
Epoxy and tape from RAKA in Florida
