Wooden Ships Comments on this Ian Oughtred Acorn rowing dinghy
Ian Oughtred Acorn 15 rowing skiff built by a very skilled amateur who has built a large number of boats in the past. Built as many of these boats are in epoxy glued marine plywood which makes for a very lightweight and strong hull, ideal for a rowing skiff. The Acorn is an exceptionally pretty boat and can be rowed easily by one or two people making her very versatile. This boat has been used on inland waterways and open sea.
She appears to have been built to a good standard and looks to be very nicely finished inside and out. Her build took over 1000 hours and she has been very lightly used since her completion. She has often visited the Thames Classic Boat Rally and attracted a lot of attention.
The boat comes with an all over cover, road trailer and two pairs of oars so she is ready to be used immediately.
