Peter Baldracchi recently built this 14′ dory skiff in a class at Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts. There’s a storage compartment under the sternsheets and room for gear and a couple of friends. The light grey interior, varnished seats, and dark hull make for a handsome boat.

Jack Farrell launched this Daisy skiff at Star Island, Isles of Shoals in New Hampshire, last summer. Students at the WoodenBoat School built the boat about ten years ago. One class member won the boat raffle and took it home to his home in New Jersey, where he planned to finish it off.

Community School of Davidson is at it again, this time launching a Dave Gentry designed “Wee Lassie” built by 6th and 7th grade students at their middle school. Instructor Jim Dumser built it with eight students from the Friday “explore elective” over the fall and winter.
