Your instructor, Aime Fraser, has come up with a great design using Pete Culler s Good Little Skiff as a point of departure. It s widely regarded as one of the finest skiffs ever designed and built. Aime increased the freeboard a bit more and made her easier to build for the novice builder. Weight totals approximately 130 lbs. Topsides are plywood, and there are no curves to loft.
Construction is fast and forgiving, using epoxy s best features.
Two frames, stem, transom, chines, and gunwales produce a strong, seaworthy motorboat or sailing craft. Students can choose which one they d prefer to build. You ll need to use your head and your eyes, as well as your arms and shoulders. Your boat will be uniquely yours. You ll come along faster if you know how to use a chop saw and a hand plane, and have some experience sawing and measuring.
