❤❤❤❤ your sharpie. Just perfect.!! Length, cockpit space, a bit of deck. Nice bow sprit (not really a proper one; but nice and hefty!). Simple all white and clean lines. 🎉
I come back from time to time just to see how stable this boat is under sail! Amazing! Those chesapeake oystermen knew what they were doing,great execution of design,Mac!😉👌
Hi Mack, what type of electric motor have you fitted and could you please share more details? I looked on your website but couldn’t see an update yet. Thanks Pete
Hi Nispete, The motor is a Aquamot Trend 2.2kw Fixed Pod. It came with wiring harness, controller etc. and a fixed 3 bade plastic prop and a Eliche Radice 2 blade folding 11 x 6 prop. It's quiet and powerful. I'm happy.
Hi, inlike a lot of things about your boat.... is there any website you have seen plans for this boat or similar please? Did you build it or does someone make these? Thank you.
thank you. I built the boat from "The Sharpie Book" by Reuel B. Parker. This boat is from page 108 and there are many similar boats in this book. The book has building instructions and is invaluable.
Real nice addition to an already lovely boat. I got one the other day, just a 12 volt 34 lb for my canoe, using a 400ah lithium. These lithium batteries are awesome, 5 kilos and last hours
Do you think a design like this would work with a fully glassed in floor above the waterline, slight pitch, to make it self bailing? With storage via sealable hatches? Any downside to that? Thank you. Just want to add more safety and ease of maintenance…
Very nice! I have a few questions, what are the dimensions? Length, beam and hight? How much water does she draw centerboard up and down. And is the centerboard weighted with lead or is this Sharpie unballasted?
Thanks David. Length is 18', Beam 5.6', mast is 20', draws 15" board up, @4' down. Centreboard is weighted just enough to make it sink. There's no ballast. Tempo was built from Reuel Parker's "The Sharpie Book". An excellent book for all kinds of common sense solutions.
