PLAN #1
10’ 6" FIDDLEHEAD
From BRYAN BOATBUILDING
The 10½' Fiddlehead is a redesign of Henry
Rushton's "Wee Lassie". This was done
in
order to use the much simpler dory construction.
She is a very able boat for her size
and will carry an adult equally well on a still
duck pond or open bay. Her watertight
storage compartments and spray deflecting cover
give her extra security despite her
small size.
