Micro-Wherry
Designed by David Rogers
A Micro-Wherry listed under the name David Rogers. A wherry is a long, fine rowing boat from the English rivers and estuaries, and the prefix suggests one drawn short enough to handle and store easily, but no designer's page, plans seller or published specification could be found for this particular boat, so no dimensions are recorded here.
Without a known design there is no honest basis for a skill level or an hours budget. If you are building one, your log will be the first real information on this page, and any hours logged appear below.
What building a Micro-Wherry actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
Where the time goes
Hours summed per builder, then the median taken across builders, so someone who logs a step in fourteen short entries doesn’t outweigh someone who logged it in one. Example logs are excluded.
| Step | Median hours | Median spend | Builders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans & Lofting | 5.0 | n/a | 1 |
| Hull Panels | 3.0 | n/a | 1 |
| Stitch & Assembly | 5.0 | n/a | 1 |
| Fillets & Taping | 11.5 | n/a | 1 |
