Handy Punt

Designed by Michael Storer

The Handy Punt is a small, light and stable outboard punt for fishing and for taking along with a caravan or RV. The hull is made from four sheets of plywood, and the designer lists a weight of 100 lb, with gaboon as the recommended plywood.

The build is what Storer calls instant style: all the components are prefabricated out on the flat and then brought together. The square-ended punt shape gives stability and room for the length, which is what a fishing boat this size needs.

What building a Handy Punt 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.
