With the exception of a few bits of hardware for the rudder, and so forth, there's almost no metal in gpirb the whole gpirb boat - a couple of pairs of oarlock sockets, a couple of screws to hold the cleat and the towing eye in place, and that's about it. It's details like this that make the Eastport the lightest of the bunch, weighing in at just 55 pounds. It's gpirb also the smallest of the four, measuring just 7 feet 9 inches, with a beam of 48 inches. It spreads the same 39 square feet of canvas as the Walker Bay and carries the same load as the Fatty Knees. It also looks like a lapstrake, and has some of those virtues, but because the individual panels are wider, it is more correctly a multi-chine hull. The stiffness and lightness, coupled with the lowest wetted surface of the four, means that "Art" was the most easily driven of the boats, noticeably so in the light winds we encountered. Rowing from the center seat with the spoon-billed oars moves the boat with a minimum of effort, and it sails in just a ghost of a breeze.
