    The document summarizes boat design plans from the 1940s for a 22-foot Chesapeake Bay sharpie boat called Coot. It describes how the sharpie's simple construction and stability under sail inspired the author to build their own version. Coot is representative of the sharpies that used to dominate the Chesapeake Bay, with its raking masts and clipper-style bowsprit also resembling the larger skipjacks and pungeys. The document suggests Coot would attract attention if built today and highlights another sharpie called Bonnie Lassie that was sailed in Cape Cod.

    Boat Designs from the 1940's: Treasures from the Past COOT - A 22' CHESAPEAKE BAY SHARPIE (Plans

    Updated)
    I much admire the sharpie for its simplicity of construction and stability under sail. After reading Reuel Parker'sThe Sharpie Book, It wasn't a week before I set out to build my own version of a sharpie skiff. (Click here to see pictures of Foolhardy.) Coot is a throwback to the days when sharpies dominated the Chesapeake Bay. With her raking masts and "clipper" bowsprit, she also suggests the lines of the larger Skipjacks and Pungies that once plied the Bay. Built today, I imagine Coot would get her share of attention wherever she went. Worth a look is Bonnie Lassie, a lovely open hulled Coot, sailed for many years in the Cape Cod area by Jeremy Masterson and his family.

    p.140 text follows: main and side keelsons forward, or aft as required. The cabin itself has a long, wide berth either side the centerboard trunk and a stove shelf with locker beneath for food to port, hooks for hanging things the other side. Spar dimensions, sail shapes, and important rigging details are all shown. (end of text)
