The original Scarab 16 plans called for the boat to be built in foam sandwich or plywood with a cabin and pivoting centreboards in the floats.

This boat will have a few modifications to the original boat.

• It will still be built in foam sandwich
• An open cockpit with small deck. This will make the cockpit longer to allow the crew to move further forward to trim the boat.
• Prodder for the spinnaker pole
• A dagger board.
• The bilge is rounded on the main hull and floats.
• The mast is mounted on the floor of the cockpit which will simpify rigging the boat without any major lifting.
• The folding system and beams will be similar to the Scarab 18 or Scarab 650 with the beams bolted onto the deck of the floats.

Will post more pictures as I go along
