PTskiff-2PTskiff-4Owner 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;

Every now and then a friend has a boat for sale that they would like us to post on our website. We do this selectively for free. Paul Zeusche, who makes the connective hardware for our kits, has recently finished refurbishing a molded fiberglass nesting dinghy (14 feet) that he and his wife used extensively on their cruising boat. It looks like he did an amazing and thorough job on this boat.

This boat is much longer than our nesting dinghy. The advantage of length is higher rowing speeds. This boat can be rowed by 2 people at once, using either 4 oars or just two.

Because the boat is relatively narrow and a very slippery hull shape, I would describe it as having "long legs."

You can check out the photos and specifications here.
