George Weinbrenner started construction on this Adirondack Guide Boat as part of a WoodenBoat school class in the summer of 2001. He feels very lucky to be able to have brought MOHICAN home and finish her out. He launched her in Lake George, NY in September 2002.
The boat is a mahogany strip over cherry and walnut frame skiff with maple accents and walnut gunnels. The seats and breasthook are sapelle with maple accents. This was my first build and was built without a plan.

When he couldn't find exactly the boat he wanted, dave Edinburg designed his own. Using the lines of the International 505 as a starting point, John created the cold-molded CARIBE. He used two layers of 3mm okoume plywood for the planking over plywood frames.
