Piccup Pram
My 12 Yr.. old son and I built Jim Michalaks
Piccup Pram last winter. It was our first boatbuilding project. The boat is
made from lumberyard materials. Decks and hull from 1/4 " luan ply covered with
fiberglass and west system epoxy. Trim was ripped from 1X4 mahogany decking.
The mast was laminated from a ripped Douglas fir 2X10. The oars were laminated and
carved out from 1x6 pine, all to Mr. Michalaks specs. The boat went together well
using Mr. M's blueprints and instructions. It was a joy to build. She's
extremely stable (stand up and walk around) and rows well. We haven't sailed her
yet, and wont until we finish the sail. A Highly recommended
design.
