ROBERTS 470 - WOOD EPOXY

New Lion 800 is a continuation of a series of plywood yacht designed by the company Unik Yachts.

The main idea of a series of yachts Lion is to maximize the manufacturability of the design and the ability to self-built yacht from a kit of parts cut on the CNC machine.

Simon found an older version of this boat back in the eighties and realized that its thousand-year-old design could be copied and preserved without too much difficulty. He measured it out in ’89 and Bill Nielsen lofted it and drew up the plans in ’91.

This runabout reveals the influence of Zimmer’s association with John Hacker, and will require expert boatbuilders.Construction: Batten-seam planking over sawn frames.Lofting is required.Plans include 4 sheets.

Rugged little launch with generous beam.

Construction features a traditional backbone of bolted-up oak, steam-bent frames and strip-planking. Four different arrangements are shown.

Construction: Strip-planked over steam-bent frames.

An extremely light weight canoe of good carrying capacity, it is very steady and easy to portage through the brush.

The main priorities which lie at the base of the DP 14' design are: simplicity of construction, user friendliness (for single or double crew) and good performance - all of this with reasonable costs.

Beamier, but no less elegant than the Wee Rob, this more stable double-paddle canoe can carry sail better.Any of the three lengths (13′ 6″, 15′ 8″, or 17′ 3″) can be built using the same plans.You’ll notice the different stem patterns on plans page 5...
