The
Sabalo is the second SOT we've designed. It's more refined and
more paddler friendly.
The
tankwell is large and can even serve as a tandem passenger seat
when you want to bring the little fishermen along. ;)
The
stern has a small transom located above the waterline for paddling
efficiency. It will also accommodate easy installation of a rudder
system.
The
cockpit and tankwell are both self-bailing which provides for
excellent safety in the event you take on water. Sound judgment
and paddling skill are still requirements.
The
hull has a unique interlocking framing system making assembly
very user friendly. This system is integrated into the hull design
allowing the use of 3/16" (4 mm) plywood throughout the hull,
keeping her nice and light.
The
frames were designed with builder customization in mind. A 6"
(15 cm) day hatch will fit nicely in the cockpit, plenty of room
for a large front hatch, room behind the seat for storage and
rod holders, the possibilities are only limited to the builders
imagination.
Building
and materials
There
are 2 options to fit the budget and skills of the builder.
Option
1: Because of the specific shape required of the frames,
they will require more time and patience to draw and cut out.
We'd made every effort to make drawing and cutting everything
yourself easy.
Option
2: To save time drawing the frames from dimensions,
a set of full scale paper patterns is available. To keep costs
low, some drawing the main hull panels is still required with
this option.
