Louis de Lassus built his Argie 15 in his basement in Paris, France. He calls her the Argie 15 Low Profile because he had to reduce the sheer in the bow to allow her to be removed via the stairs from the basement. He has fitted a 420 rig to her because they are inexpensive to buy second hand in France.

Scott Zerr of Virginia Beach USA is building an Argie 15 for fun with his family. He used fir plywood, which is a fairly unstable plywood. This makes it a good idea to cover the hull with a light layer of glass set in epoxy resin, to hold the surface together and ensure a long life. Scott is preparing for this work.
