The Sagamore Tender is the very first design that I offered to the public, and now it’s a time honored, well proven classic. It was always a great boat, and now it’s even better! I personally own a Sagamore Tender that is now several years old, and it’s my favorite boat. Start building yours today!
The Sagamore Tender is pleasing to the eye with its classic lines. She has fine entry forward and plenty of rocker aft such that it allows for a very easy rowing motion with little effort. It is light weight which makes it easy to car top. The Sagamore Tender is a real work-horse and will afford you years of rugged use. This boat will handle a small outboard motor of around 2 to 3hp, which is sufficient for it’s intended use as a tender. However, I would rather row this model. Seven foot oars are recommended.
Length: 11’6″
Beam: 3’11″
The construction method employed is what may be considered “traditional” in the modern sense of plywood construction techniques. The good news is that almost anyone with a little wood working experience can build the boat right from the book and plans! Estimated building time is about a weekend for an experienced wood worker to cut out and assemble the bare hull. People with very little experience in working with tools may take an extra weekend or two.
