Skylark 6
Description
The Skylark 6 is the smallest in the Selway-Fisher Skylark series of simple, stitch-and-glue plywood pram dinghies (continuing the progression from the Skylark 10 and 12 we've covered). Designed by Paul Fisher (Selway-Fisher Design, UK), it's an ultra-compact, lightweight tender or kids' boat focused on maximum stability and safety in a tiny package—ideal for fishing, messing about on ponds/lakes, or as a first "real" boat for children. Like the others, it's pram-shaped (flat bow and stern) for easy building and beaching, with generous buoyancy to avoid the tippiness common in small craft.

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.
