Do you think you can build a boat? We know you can.

Building a boat is challenging, but it is just like building anything else. You start at the beginning, follow one step to the next and end up with the finished product.

This is a scale model of Bevin’s Skiff, a twelve foot rowboat.

The ¾”= 1’ scale means that every 1/16” on the model is equal to 1" on the real boat. (There are 12x1/16" in ¾” and 12x1" in 1', so
1/16" = 1" )

In this guide, we will give you the knowledge to make a model boat of a simple yet practical design. But be careful, along the way you may just learn a little math as well!

If you liked building the model, learn how you can build the real thing in our Bevin Builder's online instruction manual.
