Kerisper
Designed by François Vivier
Kerisper is a 4.81 m power skiff with a 1.80 m beam, a classic-looking open boat for day trips and fishing. She has a flat bottom for easy launching, generous freeboard at the stem and buoyancy compartments at both ends.
The light, semi-planing hull takes outboards from 4 to 20 hp, and the designer reports 13 knots measured on the first boat with a crew of three and a 10 hp motor. She is built by the stitch and tape method, which he says a beginner can manage, from a CNC plywood kit with the stitching holes already drilled or from full-size patterns. The top plank overlaps the one below for a clinker look.
What building a Kerisper 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.
