Upon seeing my post on the
tricked out Swedish D-Kanot, Neil Kennedy of
NedsLocker sent along this article of a singlehander design by Brit Andrew Wolstenholme, based off the
Norfolk Punt class. I've included the article below. Wolstenholme's design is smaller than the D-Kanot and is a simple V shape, not round bilged, but it is interesting to see how similar these two designs are, given the very different design traditions they draw upon.
A photo of a vintage gunter-rigged Norfolk Punt...
..which is a far cry from how the modern Norfolk Punt is set up today (trapezes, assymetric spinnakers, carbon spars, etc).
