We were looking for a design for a stem dinghy that was only 2.2m long but could still be relatively stable as well as attractive. Jordan Smith drew up the lines and we built the first boat in a regional class in Newcastle in 1994. The boat proved to be exactly what we wanted, attractive and stable for its size. After that we built Pippies by four different methods, strip-planked, ply clinker, traditional clinker and diagonally-planked. Each method can produce a fine vessel.

One customer built a traditional clinker version as a tender to his yacht and decided it was too nice to go in the water, so he turned it into a coffee table and built a plywood clinker version for a tender. I have an incomplete traditional clinker Cedar Pippy that will become the tender for my Ranger 24 when completed.
Generally speaking Pippy is built upside down in all methods, but the traditional clinker planked boat can be built right way up.
The construction details for strip-planking, traditional clinker construction and plywood clinker construction are all in the plans.
