My grandfather has been building his own personal sailboats for the past 25 years. He uses a construction method called lapstrake or clinker built dates back to 190 AD. Lapstrake planking refers to the method of attaching planks to the frames and to themselves. The planks actually "lap" one another as opposed to butting together at their edges as in standard batten-seam or straight-carvel construction. This adds strength to the hull.

THE BOAT: This boat is a home built, double planked, plywood sailboat. Length overall: 24 Feet. Beam: 8 feet. Draft: Twin bilge keels reduces draft to 24 inches. Sloop rigged. Approximately sail area: 120 square feet. Currently it has not been sailed in over a year. The paint is chipping off the boat and the cabin is unfinished. Needs cosmetic updates. Overall, the boat is in Fair condition. Comes with all rigging and sails necessary to sail it. EZLOADER trailer included.
