I’m a fishing guide in Patagonia Argentina. A while ago I decided I wanted to build a drift boat. I got in touch with designer Jeff Spira and gave him a detailed account of how I was planning on using the boat and he came up with the Rawson.

Built for one thing in mind. Catching fish in the large swift and turbid rivers of my native Northwest. The name "Mykizha" is the native Kamkathcan word for the Steelhead trout. It is where the Mykis comes from in the scientific name for Rainbow Trout and Steelhead.

Built as a gift for my mother, who missed going out on the lake that she lives on ever since my father passed away and this would get her back out there.Built in Houston, Texas and Launched at Lake Texoma, Mead, Oklahoma.This is a blog of the building of her Iain Oughtred Auk

I recently sent this letter to Jeff Spira or www.spirainternational.com to express my appreciation for providing plans on his 20ft Carolina Hatters V Hull dory that my father and I spent the last 9 months building...the boat is built better than mos

The handsom new 44 ft schooner LEAH CAROLINE launched at Trinity, Newfoundland July 7 2012. The latest of many vessels large and small built by 86 year old shipbuilder Henry Vokey of that town. Hundreds of onlookers waited for hours in the rain for the big splashdown.

Built on Sam Devlin Godzilla 22 plan, by Andrew Denman in Kettering, Tasmania.

Soon to be fitted with bow pudding. She will be a bearded lady.

Moored at Warneet. A coastal village on Western Port Bay. Victoria.

Found this on Vintage Boats and set about building it light and cheap. Total build boat about $300 nz ply and glass cloth with polyester. Ply was not treated and with a heavy scoring got a good bond.Could not believe how well it goes with me at 84 kg with a 5 hp OB.

This boat took me 4 years in spare time to design and build. It has oak frames and spruse planking, the decks are chery and the transom and thorts are mahogany.
