FOUR SONS
This little skiff was designed and built with the grandchildren in mind. A fun and safe little boat was the intention. Positive flotation was made with bulkheads installed fore and aft, accessible through deck hatches.

Originally launched June 25, 2005, this Cosine Wherry needed a refresh. The sliding seat was removed and a more traditional interior was installed this summer. Two cedar strip buoyancy tanks were added, along with many coats of varnish and new oars from Barkley Sound Oar & Paddle.

Jericho Bay Lobster Skiff, launched in August, 2020. My first boat build, built part time in my garage.Rigged with a 2021 Yamaha 25 HP. A light engine, only 126 lbs, reaches 25 mph. Nav lights, GPS-enabled VHF, Garmin 1400 GPS/Chartplotter, digital engine gauge.
I chose this design as a chance to try strip building and the epoxy approach. The boat is made of Eastern White Cedar, Western Red Cedar and Walnut. I used System Three Epoxy and Captains Z Spar Varnish For the finish. The project took 3 months elapsed time working almost full time at it!
