HOW TO BUILD THE RYE BAY 8
What’s inside? - Details of how to build your own great little boat that can be used to row, motor and sail - or all three. It’s easy to build too. All it takes is three sheets of plywood (a bit more for the sailing version) and a few lengths of wood and some epoxy to stick it all together. Built using the “Stitch & Tape” or “Stitch & Glue” method which is ideally suited to this kind of DIY build. Firstly, there is a description of this type of build which would be of help to others building in this method. That is followed by full instructions to build the RYE BAY 8 showing how to mark out the plywood sheets with the plank shapes etc. then cut them out, stitch them together and apply the epoxy saturated tape to hold it all together and make it watertight.
Step by step instructions take you through the stages of the build, with handy tips along the way, starting with getting the plank shapes onto the plywood through to adding a sail rig. Plus, if you need it, email help and advice.
