Papoose

This charming addition to our cradle boat fleet is adapted from a type known as a pram. Prams have transoms at both bow and stern, and are used extensively as tenders for larger vessels because of their roominess in a relatively short length. Papoose is 38″ long and 23″ wide, and is an easy boat to build, using common lumberyard materials. Plans include large-scale construction drawings for all assemblies and full-size patterns for all parts. Comprehensive construction notes describing all components and building procedures are number-keyed to the corresponding parts in the drawings, so there is no guesswork.
