This Auklet has been built last Winter by Ernst (54) und Tristan Glas (9) as a tender to their wooden sailing boat Rondine, a 13m sloop, finished in 1993. The Auklet is now sailing at rondines foredeck.

A fun and easy winter season build of the Chesapeake Light Craft Paddleboard from plans and a frame kit. I really wanted some colours that popped, hence the orange patterned cloth and blue grip pads.  Total build time was probably less than 75 hours.

Matt Zarem used stitch-glue mahogany marine plywood to build this 16' sea kayak, SCOUT, which he launched in March of 2002. It is a CLC Chesapeake 16 design, with an overall length of 15'8" and beam of 231/4". Matt writes that it is an excellent boat for traveling around San Francisco Bay.
