A new skiff

In stark contrast to the mild winter temps we were having, my latest little boat left for its new home one recent morning with the thermometer stuck at about zero degrees (f). This is the model that came from a new jig built to replace Dynamite's old jig discussed in an earlier post.

I've built this skiff with 1/4" plywood sides and cambara framing. The bottom is 3/8" ply. The exterior of the hull is sheathed with 18oz fiberglass cloth and epoxy to withstand the tortures given a working fisherman's skiff.




Now all we need is some warm weather. Yeah, well, it is January and this isn't Australia!




A nice, clean little skiff.
