Weekend Trainer by Karl Stambaugh
Description
The Weekend Trainer (also referred to as the Weekend Trainer Sprit Rig or closely related to the Weekend Dinghy) is a small American plywood daysailer/rowing skiff designed by Karl Stambaugh of Chesapeake Marine Design. It is offered as plans for amateur/home builders (available through sources like Chesapeake Marine Design/cmdboats.com and sail data references), with no commercial factory builder or series production; a modest but unknown number of boats have been built by individuals using stitch-and-glue construction on okoume plywood (often epoxy-encapsulated for durability). The design emphasizes simplicity, quick and low-cost building suitable for beginners or weekend projects, light weight for easy handling/trailering, and versatility as either a pure rowboat or a basic sailing trainer/daysailer in protected waters.

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.
