Bob Chaput and Dick Dowdell built this Peeler Skiff from a John Harris-designed Chesapeake Light Craft kit. She will carry children and grand children fishing and digging clams in the salt waters of Southern New England.
Plywood multilayer hull.
Flatbottem at the back, round hull at the front.
Topspeed 35 knots.
Fully restored in 2013-2014 by Kolibri Jachtbouw Stompwijk the Netherlands.
Engine: Volvo Penta 4 cilinder 110HP.
I recently launched my build of a Candu Junior mini tugboat designed by Berkeley Eastman.
The Candu Junior is 11 feet loa. This build is powered by a Honda 20 hp outboard and gets on a plane at about 18 mph. The motor is mounted in a motor well/ tunnel inboard.
My kayak is a Chesapeake Light Craft “Wood Duck Hybrid.” I started the build on 11/6/14 and completed it on 12/30/14. It took approximately 185 hours to build including time spent making a “Greenland Paddle” and fixing some mistakes that needed to be rectified!

True North is a highly original “old style” Lyman Sleeper described as one of Lyman’s best big water boats. Modifications include installation of mahogany ceilings, a rear seat in lieu of a fish tank, and a Chris Craft 327 engine in lieu of the original Grey Marine Fireball.
My Tango Skiff XL build in the spring of 2014.
