Design Notes
There is a plan but in very poor disrepair. Attempts to digitise are ongoing.
Fortunately, a half model exists.
The initial boat performance was less than ideal necessitating an extension to 18ft.

Build Notes
Built as a 14ft skiff, the boat was a very poor performer, she was then cut in half and had 4ft added to her. She then became an 18 ft skiff. No record of New hope as an 18ft skiff!
