Mancebo's Design

The neat thing about the PDR sail boats is they are relatively simple to build.  Mr. Mancebo's design uses 1/4" plywood and the stitch and glue ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_and_glue ) method.  The sides are buoyancy tanks making the boat unsinkable.  The four side panels are exactly the same which allowed me to make one pattern and then trace the succeeding panels.  The mast, rudder, and centerboard are all made from cedar.  I'll hit Mr. Mancebo up for a write up on his design, once he makes them available.
