3S - sally's slimmer sister
Same over all lines as Sally Blank but only 2'5" beam. 3S can be built as shown as a double paddle canoe or built as a rowing scull with out riggers. Can carry up to 300lbs.
This design was in fact completed before Sally Blank. I was looking for a simple two sheet design for protected waters. I built as model of the design at 1/24th scale and following Weston Farmer's advice tested it in the office before offering the design for building.
The model was built of card stock and then floated in the office sink. We have a $2 coin in Canada known as the twoonie, as luck would have it two of these coins weigh just short of 10 grams. At 1/24 scale any weights are multiplied by the scale cubed to bring them up to real world size. The model floated to her design water line with the two twoonies on board. Twenty four cubed is 13824, times 10 (the twoonies), divided by 1000 is 138 kilos give or take. For those south of the border 138 times 2.2 equals 300lbs again roughly.
Study plans are available for $10.00 in PDF format
Building plans are $25.00 in either PDF or DWG format.
