Wherry 10

A 10 ft by 4 ft strip built rowing boat sold by White Salmon Boat Works as the 10 ft Cosine Wherry, intended as a yacht tender or anywhere a small boat has to be carried and stored easily. She should weigh about 65 pounds and has a total design displacement of around 300 pounds including the boat, so she is a one or two person craft. The page credits her with real stability and says she reaches hull speed in a few strokes.

There are two rowing stations; the forward one is a little tight for a larger rower but still usable. She is meant to be rowed, though a small motor can be fitted. The design is drawn for strip planking by an amateur working in a small space without expensive tools, and the estimate is 200 to 250 hours. Plans and kits are available from the shop, which also sells a 14 ft version of the wherry.
