 +The Farr 3.7 is a fast, lightweight one man trapeze skiff. It's designed for people in the 65 to 80kg weight range, and is a lot of fun! See the [[http://​3-7class.org.nz|class website]] for more information.

 I managed to obtain a "combo deal" of two 3.7's and a trailer. One of the boats (#37) was built by a professional boat builder, and was in pretty good condition. There'​s a class certificate,​ and original building plans! The other (#24) needs quite a bit of work, and is of unknown origin. I managed to obtain a "combo deal" of two 3.7's and a trailer.

 I did find a small crack in #37 which on further inspection was a bit more work to fix. It was next to an old repair, and the damage of the old repair extended a bit further than they thought. This meant there was a section where only the top veneer of ply was still intact. Repaired this one with a slightly time consuming and nice-ish repair. I did find a small crack in #37 which on further inspection was a bit more work to fix.

 Not long after another crack opened up in the false floor. This turned out to be another section of old repairs that had let go. At this point I decided to just start patching things up a bit rougher, and eventually just replace the whole floor. Not long after another crack opened up in the false floor.
