Somes Sound 12.5
Description
The Somes Sound 12½ is a 12'6" glued-lapstrake wooden skiff designed by John Brooks of Brooks Boats Designs in Brooklin, Maine. This elegant small craft combines traditional New England workboat aesthetics with modern epoxy-glued construction, making it suitable for both rowing and sailing. It’s a popular choice for amateur builders due to its manageable size, detailed plans, and Brooks’ emphasis on accessible construction techniques.

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.
