The "Chimaera" is available as plank on frame, all wood construction. The bulkheads for the plank on frame kit, are made from 4mm grade "A" birch plywood for fitting at 32mm intervals.

The parts are bridge in for easy removal. Ample hardwood strips for decking and other areas are included.

A specially made jig is supplied for holding the bulkheads and when planking the hull to ensure that no twisting takes place.

A comprehensive set of fittings are also supplied in brass and gunmetal. The propeller is a four blade course pitch with a stainless steel propeller shaft supported in roller bearings.
