Kathryn Lee was the result of 20 years of planning and 6 months building. She is the only boat worthy of the name of my first love who got away. Classic and traditional in lines and plank-on-frame construction, she has white oak keel and frames, parana pine planking, mahogany seats and trim, teak blocks, and bronze hardware. I designed her to safely and comfortably take on heavily-laden camping and fishing excursions over rough Texas bays and even offshore Gulf of Mexico. I have sailed her for four years. She has been refit and refinished to show off in Port Townsend.
