Faering/dory like light rowing skiff

[Erik le Rouge]

Hi,
I read a lot of request for light rowing skiff. Butler site offers at least three boats easy to build that meet many forumites requirement. Follow the links for good looking simple boats :

Enjoy !

It would be really nice if they were able to provide beam, LOA and an approximate weight for each boat, instead of having to guess.

My reaction too. One wonders if they just look good, or also handle well -- particularly the faering-style design.

Be careful. Mr. Butler gets touchy if you ask too many questions.

the faering is lovely. the guy has a good eye. when i compare his dory to bolger's sweet pea, this somehow looks better.

has anyone bought the plans for this norwegian gunning dory? is this boat traditionally lofted or is it like whisp or a bolger design? i would be curious to see how it compares to IO's similar designs.
