SPITFIRE an Acorn 15

SPITFIRE is an Acorn 15, row/sail boat which I built from scratch with my friend and boat building mentor, Murray S.  The Acorn 15 is an Iain Oughtred design from England and is a lapstrake plywood design. Below are links which take you to more information and pictures of Spitfire. Check them out!

  1. Any knowledge of whereabouts of plans for an Acorn 15/17 by Iain Oughtred. I’ve tried Aus., Eng., USA (Woodenboat) to no avail.

    • I got them 12 years ago direct from Iain. I do still have most of them. It is a beautiful boat though I have only rowed her. 604-818-8634 cell

  2. Love the build! Any idea how many 6mm sheets is used to plank the hull?

      • thanks for the quick reply!

        nearly impossible to get llyods approved marine ply in ireland most likely will have to be shipped from Europe so just want to make sure I get enough the first time.
