Eastport Pram self build. 2016.

I built this Chesapeake Light Craft designed Eastport Pram last year, to be used as a lightweight tender. It's one of the best things I've ever made, and I love it. So easy to row, and barely noticeable towed behind my sailing boat.

Very nice tidy build Russ.

That looks amazing. Great build!

Thanks Steve. I love using her. She rows like a dream, and there's always someone who wants to talk about the build.

Nice work! Wouldn't be nice if the kids can pre laser cut!!! But where would the fun be in that!! I like your sailboat as well, very nice!
Fair winds !

Nice build. Would you mind sharing an update video how is that boat doing to this day? Is it still holding great?

[@russellesimonetta3835]

Whatever you said, thanks!

Nice boat and build video. What is the grayish-blue floor. Is that some kind of non-slip surface paint or material?

Great build! What did it cost? Also, how many can ride in it?

[@Ru88ell]

Thanks. I can't fully remember the cost. I guess about £750 all in, but that includes getting some tools. I have had 3 in it in calm conditions.

Nice build! how long did she take from start to finish?

[@Ru88ell]

Thanks. I spent about 100 hours on it, and it was worth every second. The boat gets a lot of use and creates a lot of attention wherever we go with her. Super easy to row; I easily keep up with inflatables with 2.5hp engines.
