Joansa
Designed by John Welsford
A 15 ft 6 in round-sided dory drawn as a modern take on a classic type, for recreational rowing rather than fishing. Narrow at 3 ft 11 in and light at 38 kg, which is what makes a rowing boat worth getting out on the water at seven in the morning.
What building a Joansa actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
