Streaker – (3.63m)

Streaker is a head-turner, a particularly handsome craft no matter what the viewing angle.

The original Streaker was designed as a recreational rowboat that could be car-topped, hence the modest size. She turned out to be an ideal craft for exploring rivers, lakes and estuaries, doing all that was asked of her while keeping the rower, a companion and a picnic basket thoroughly dry. Streaker rows readily with a pair of 2.25m-oars but for those occasions when time is pressing, the transom takes a low-hp outboard motor.

The wheel option has two functions - it acts as a fin in the water and makes launching and retrieval a pleasure. It is no problem to wheel Streaker along pavements to launching ramps and beaches and the large-diameter wheel also works well on sand and pebbles.

Streaker’s construction requires a minimal toolkit and can also be built in the sailing version.
