| Includes making a sail, making oars and oarlocks and repairing the side. One side opened up where the bottom attaches to the chine. I used construction glue to close it up as much as possible and then painted a strip of canvas from an old bed sheet on. It's held so far on various outings. | Includes making a sail, making oars and oarlocks and repairing the side. One side opened up where the bottom attaches to the chine.

| The first three of these images were taken on the Waikato river, in a calmish spot next to some rapids. The boat is tied on using a long rope, because less than a kilometer downstream are the Huka Falls, which I think are a bit too much for this boat. And me. The rest was taken on lake Taupo. | The first three of these images were taken on the Waikato river, in a calmish spot next to some rapids.

| No plans were drawn before building Appie. After some initial calculations a model was made in FreeShip to fine-tune the dimensions of Appie. Appie was then built without reference to this model, really, from whatever dimensions I could remember. I've measured up Appie and put a "plan" up here. It's the finished measurements, not the dimensions of the parts to cut out. All the solid wood used in Appie came from a single pallet, and the sizes used are in no way optimal or logical. For example the gunwales would have been better if they were a bit less high, but wider. | No plans were drawn before building Appie.

| So, a disclaimer then. I present this drawing not with the intention of having someone else build to this design. If you do build one, it may explode, sink, burn, break, and possibly all these things at once. I will not be responsible for whatever happens. I present this design purely as an inspiration, to be used by those individuals with good judgement. (But not judgemental I hope.) | So, a disclaimer then.
