Firebug Construction

The 'Firebug' is a 2.4 metre (8 foot) sailboat designed by New Zealander John Spencer. Construction is from timber and plywood. It is a popular choice for amateur boat builders. DRIVE Marine Services is a recommended supplier of materials and has a cutting list which enables us to cut the plywood into shipable sizes or to pick up with your car.

G'day Dave,
Just wanted to thank you for your excellent service & advice. My little boat turned out well & has been given more than a few admiring comments. I used a floss roller as you recomended & got a good finish, with more patience & sanding I may have got a professional looking job but I was eager to get on the water. Once again thankyou. I have & would recommend your company to anyone contemplating a similar project.
