QUOTE From Wooden Boat Magazine:

REDWING 18 is based on a Chapelle design of traditional construction. I saw a review of the design in WoodenBoat Magazine (No.82) and set to dreaming about a cruise in the backwater marshes of the Chesapeake's Eastern Shore. Many of these back waters are too narrow for a sailboat to tack but are passable with a small power cruiser. I designed a plywood version and included other changes to make her easier to build while keeping the traditional appearance of the Chapelle design. This design has proven to be an ideal pocket cruiser to exploring creeks, coves and backwaters at modest expense to build and operate. The motor is enclosed for silent running. She is a handy size and weight for trailering behind most cars. Enjoy a relaxing pace of travel on the water. Speed is 6-9 knots depending on power. Look for a design review in Boat Design Quarterly (No. 1) and a construction How-to article in Wooden Boat magazine (Issues # 179, 180, 181, & 182
