Her planking is Mericante BS 1088 marine plywood coated with two coats of penetrating epoxy sealer inside and out prior to painting/varnishing resulting in a strong, light weight and dry hull that will last for generations to come. If these materials and techniques would have been available to the boat builders of old, this is the way they would have done it. THE HULL - PUT TOGETHER TO LAST Built steadfastly to the Arch Davis design, this vessel is reminiscent of traditional wood dinghies of the past Look more closely, however, and you will see the Penobscot incorporates many of the advantages of modern wood boat building. They include: Fore and aft stringers rather than bent frames - This allows for a strong and fair hull that is much easier to clean and refinish when the time comes. Epoxy glued and stainless steel fastened planks throughout requiring no caulking or seam compound -This provides extremely strong, maintenance free and water tight joints throughout the boat Marine grade tropical species plywood (BS1088) used for hull planking rather than solid wood planks - Because of its’ laminated and biased layering, marine plywood is stronger than solid wood planks and will not check, especially at the butts and scarfs. This results in a light weight but sturdy hull. Carefully constructed to provide longevity and ease of maintenance by an experienced, knowledgeable lover of traditional wooden craft; this Penobscot 14 is the third one built by Bob Pauline. Big enough for a family crew of four, Its’ curvaceous lapstrake hull and handsome stained interior is accented with a solid Teak transom, breast hook and cap rail. The thwarts, knees, stern sheet, centerboard and trunk as well as the forward and aft water tight floatation compartments are constructed of select Poplar in place of the specified plywood. There is a round water tight hatch mounted in the bulkhead of the forward and aft floatation compartments that can be removed to allow for ventilation and cleaning. The pivoting retractable centerboard is one piece oak and encapsulated in epoxy. The removable rudder assembly consists of a kick up rudder blade of oak with a laminated Teak and Poplar tiller. It is mounted to the transom with heavy duty Bronze pintles and gudgeons. There is also a rowing station with a set of Bronze top flange oarlock sockets mounted in the backing blocks built into the cap rail. One set of horn type oarlocks are provided as well as a set of Moose Point oars outfitted with handsomely stitched oar leathers and buttons. The entire hull, inside and out, is sealed with two applications of clear penetrating epoxy sealer follow by epoxy prepared with coating hardener. Two coats of epoxy white paint where then applied to the hull exterior. The interior, including the cap rail, received seven coats of high quality marine varnish. With minimal maintenance, the boat will look great for years to come. The hull planking was fastened with counter bored/counter sunk stainless steel screws and epoxy glued. The cedar stem is a nine layer bent lamination and is fitted with a Bronze eye bolt used to attach the 15 foot painter at the bow. The heavy duty keel is capped with a removable cedar worm shoe bedded in tar paper and is easily replaced if damaged in a grounding or by marine worms commonly found in salt water. There are four clear finished Teak badge boards mounted on the shear strake, one on each side of the bow and stern. The hull dimensions are as follows: Length over all (L.O.A.) 14 feet Length at the Water Line (L.W.L.) 12 feet 8 inches Beam 4 feet 6.5 inches Draft Board Up 0 feet 7 inches Board Down 2 feet 6 inches Weight (fully rigged) 175 Pounds (approx) SPARS, STANDING & RUNNING RIGGING & GROUND TACKLE With its’ simple, quick to set up and easy to handle Spritsail rig, this Penobscot flies an ample 73 square feet of sail.
