Scandal Skiff
The Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building launched this 14′7″-long Scandal skiff last summer. William Atkin designed the Scandal in 1924 to be a slender and fast boat suitable for use with a small outboard motor.
ARALLA
ARALLA was launched in Hobart, Tasmania, 1928, as Allara, a Government patrol vessel. She is very likely the last surviving true Government Cutter. Allara was the British registered name of another vessel, so when she was British registered in 1943 they spelt the name backwards.
LAUREL LEI
I found the plans in the back of “The Dory Book”, by John Gardner after looking high and low for a boat I thought I could build. This boat fit the bill. Besides requiring only average skills to build, it is also light, pretty, rowable, seaworthy and cheap to operate.
