Hoopy
Designed by Benjy
Not a boat: the Hoopy is a wooden bicycle from Woodenwidget. The box-section frame is cut from 10 mm plywood and bonded with epoxy, with no fasteners at all, and weighs about 3 kg; the complete bike comes out from about 12 kg on 20 in wheels. The drive runs inside the frame, brakes are a back-pedal coaster hub, and gearing is single speed or a two-speed automatic hub. It is 170 cm long and rated for a 200 kg load.
The designer says the frame can be marked, cut and glued ready for varnish in two days with little more than a jigsaw and drill, and that many parts can come from a salvaged bike. No total build time is given. Any builds logged here appear below.
What building a Hoopy 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.
