There are two of them. One each side that I can see in my CSD catalogue, not so clear in the linked scan.
The boat becomes a basket that can be lowered/raised! I saw Yogi bear pinch picnic baskets something like this... ;-) Anyway, use a bowline to form a loop in the end of a line, and hook the loop under each cleat, lower/haul away.

I built one many years ago, when the plans first came out. The "thing" is a "launching hook". Like a thumb cleat aimed downward. A rope passed under it allows you to lower the Shoebox over side of your boat or dock on it's side by letting it down with said line.. That way the side of the sponson hits the water first at a slight angle (actually the chine touches the water first) and the boat lands upright with no water getting in the boat.

I sent the wrong drawing. You are correct about the two versions.

Bruce,
The Nesting Punt from SBJ#65 is the same boat as in BWAOM. It is 3" wider than the Shoebox shown in the old Common Sense catalog.
Robert, you've got the Shoebox plans. What is it, please?
I am confused now. I recall the "Nesting Punt" (Cartoon 41, Small
Boat Journal V65 Mar/Apr 1989) which had nesting sponsons. I thought
that these were two different (but similar) boats. With the Shoebox
being essentially the same, but the sponsons were not detachable. The
'Nesting Punt" was like the Shoebox, but the sponsons were detachable,
and stored by nesting inside the center portion.__

| Bruce I am busy for the next couple of days, I will take a look at my plans and see the detail. I have just sold the plans, but not mailed them. I however suggest the best solution is just order a set of plans or this is so simple design, really who needs plans?
