A skin-on-frame boat designed by "Dave Gentry"

The beginning photos in this blog are used from Dave Gentry's website to give you an idea of the look and shape of this boat.  If you would like to build this boat from plans or obtain a kit for it, contact Dave Gentry.  I am building this boat because I enjoy the process and learning new things so I am attempting to build this project from a building guide that Dave provided.



The Shenandoah Whitehall is a  light (SOF) Skin-On-Frame adaptation, superb as a rowing craft, and capable as a sailer with the addition of a simple spritsail rig. She's 13' 6" long, with a beam of 47", constructed of marine ply and cedar stringers. Skinned with 8oz polyester, the rowing version weighs about 55-60lbs, with full floatation under the thwarts. She's relatively easy to carry and cartop - no trailer necessary!
