Duck Trap Wherry

Designed by Walt Simmons

A lightened 1980 relative of the Newfoundland Trap Skiff, drawn at 16' and built from 13' to 18'. Designed as a pulling boat, with several sail rigs added since. The easiest of Duck Trap's wherries to build; a glued lapstrake one in 6mm Okoume weighs under 100 lb.
