Originally, most of Favourite’s frames were made from several short lengths of oak. This simplified the task of finding longer lengths with the right curve. In order to use wood efficiently, it also seems likely that that smaller fishing boats were built at the same time as much larger vessels, so that any off-cuts could be used.
