Glen L Foamee Sail
Description
The FOAMEE stands on its own or is an excellent ship-to-shore boat for any larger boat. The FOAMEE can be rowed or powered with a small outboard in addition to its being a first-rate sailing trainer. The FOAMEE sailing dinghy uses "one-off" sandwich core construction with fiberglass laminates inside and out. This is an excellent beginning craft for anyone who would like to try out the method before attempting one of the larger one-off designs. One-off fiberglass construction allows boats to be built in hull forms that are not possible using sheet plywood. The finished product has the "molded" look that we are familiar with from fiberglass production boats but using a method that requires no expensive female mold. For more information on sandwich core construction, see "Building Methods/Fiberglass" by Glen L.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
