Description
The boat “Heidi” can be planked in cedar, white pine or spruce. Same options for the bottom, although you could opt for top-quality ply, especially if you were to car-top the boat. You can build directly from this book, as there are mold patterns with detailed measurements included. She is 12′ long with a 3′ 10-3/4″ beam.
