Building the Argie 15 boat kit


A nice picture of Alans completed Argie 15,he made a really proffesional job of the final finish.



CKD Boats delivers Alans Argie 15 kit to his garage.







We are asked many times how long it takes to build a kit and does the buyer have the required skills? the replay to both questions is normaly positive,we have never yet found a buyer of our kits who could not build what we supplied,one guy did have a few problems but he later admitted he had not read our detailed buyers building instructions,in that case we sent him around twenty buildpictures,that did the trick and he was on the water in no time at all.

These pictures are of the Argie 15 kit we delivered to Alan,does he have the build skills? as an Air Traffic Controler,he daily job certainaly wouldplay no part in the building but Alan was very soon into his build and the boat was finished in a couple of months spare time,Alans wife did complain that he would not cut the lawn around their home as he did before though,this may have been the reason ALan bought the kit?

  1. This is probably no the right place, but I'm pretty desperate:
    My Argie 15 "Zanzibar" was stolen with its trailer from Somerset West recently. Blue hull and yellow interior. No sideseats. Fortunately the rig, sails rudder & centreboard was stored elsewhere. If you come across the boat please call Danny on 083 325 6063.

  2. Good news, I recovered muy Argie Zanzibar. The thieves dumped it in the vlei at Macassar, obviously only wanted the trailer. Or maybe the build quility was not to their liking. Now busy fixing up the boat which was roughly hanlded, also fitting side seats. Bought a Hobie trailer which I will convert.
