Owner testimonial:
Nine years ago this month, I was anxiously awaiting delivery of my skiff kit and little did I know about the journey I would begin. I had built a few things from wood like bookcases and a covered deck, but nothing that even approximated the 126 or so pieces of Okoume that I became so intimate with. I learned much from the process of going to work every day, following your superb directions and asking for help when I needed it. And as I would often say about the Catboat we owned for 15 years, "...every day we take her out, she teaches me something" So too, building my Skiff taught me much.I never would have expected to make a wonderful new friend, Damian...as well as Linda, and a cohort of "boat shed rats" who would enrich my life immensely. I have learned so much from this experience and always remind myself that many of my favorite books are about what goes on inside boat sheds.But, having just clocked my 80th birthday, and the fact that Teri and I recently downsized our lives, I think it is time to allow someone else to enjoy the fruits of my labor. The enjoyment and satisfaction I have garnered since I first dreamed the dream of building a boat almost a decade ago is priceless. The mere 120 hours on the meter are in no way a true measure of those feelings. And there is nothing that swells the ego quite like being able to say, "....yes, I built her."I have listed her on the Off Center Harbor Classic Boat Show;
