The first Devlin design, the Egret is a proven 15' 3" open sail-and-oar adventurer. Easily singlehanded, she is stiff, stable and comfortable in a breeze. A little too much breeze? She's also easily rowed, or for those of us who dislike excessively mixing labor and leisure, can be built with a motor well.The kit is assembled inverted over a computer-cut construction frame that indexes the bulkheads at the proper spacing, paralllel, axially-aligned and level. The hull panels are joined end-to-end with our engineered puzzle splices, avoiding the need for fiddly and difficult-to-align scarphing. From this sturdy foundation, you can be sure that you can build an accurate boat.The basic kit is enough to build the bare hull, ready for rollover, it includes the required sheets of BS1088 marine ply, the construction jig, plans and assembly instructions. It is shipped on a 4' x 8' x 11" pallet weighing 675#.This basic hull kit does not include dimensional lumber or plywood for decks, as those are best fit on-site.Epoxy and cloth are available as a kit below.Length15 ft 2-3/4 in 4.64 mBeam4 ft 10-13/16 in 1.5 mDraft board down2 ft 7-15/16 in .81 mDraft board up9-9/15 in .24 mDesigned displacement550 lbs 249 kgPowerSail / Oars / Outboard motorDry weight350 lbs 159 kg
