Designer Karl Stambaugh has gone out of his way to ensure that this plywood pocket cruiser doesn’t look like a plywood boat. He drew the stem to stand proud, as it would on a conventionally planked hull. Solid, covered sheerstrakes add to the illusion, as does the severe rounding-over specified for the chines. And the curved, raked transom isn’t exactly standard fare for sheet-plywood boats. In all, this is a handsome little cruiser.
