Ply-Flier

Designed by Michael Stevenson

A fast 14 ft boat with a narrow hull, which is what gives her speed whether she is under her low lateen rig, under oars, or running on an electric motor. The narrowness is the whole design: it is a hull that does not need much pushing.

She has a built-in trolling motor mount, which the company says is entirely enough for a boat with this little drag and this little weight, outboard oarlocks, and double cockpits so she can be paddled as well.
