Kid-Row

A 6 ft 1 in stitch-and-glue rowboat for small children from Glen-L Marine, cut from a single sheet of plywood (door-skin luan on the prototype) with three watertight compartments so it floats when swamped. The plans include the oars and oarlocks.

A one-weekend project that the child can help with. Allow 15 to 30 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
