The Crystal 16 was designed to be a simple, lightweight flats skiff. Her hull is a simple V-bottom with a bit of flare in her topsides. Her deck features a large casting platform forward with two smaller platforms back aft on both sides. Storage is available up forward below the casting deck.

At 14 feet this is Riva’s only outboard powered design. Originally designed in the 1950s, only some 150 were ever produced.

“Goldfish” is the slightly smaller version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak. Splicing of plywood sheets is not required as is the case with “Happy Hour”. All parts of the boat fit within the length of a standard sheet of 1/4″ (6mm) exterior grade plywood 8′x4′ (2.4x1.2m).

Lapstrake is a forgiving building method. The overlapping spruce planks allow for a little error when installing, which gives the classic canoe an extra layer of peace of mind when you’re on the water.

The Mill Creek 13 looks good, they're easy to build, and even though they are more stable than most kayaks, the Mill Creek 13 offer good speed and handling that you'll never get tired of.
