Dierking's TARAWA - about 15 feet.

He strip-planked a fairly complex hull form but the idea, which he
followed, was generally one of extreme simplicity and low cost -
including tarp sail. Gary is a professional boatbuilder, or has been,
so strip-planking was relatively fast and simple for him.
He says he is working up the "Modified Gibbons Sail" for it right now.
I was not able to get a couple of the pictures to load for some reason
but more than enough is there.
