The 14’5″ Gannet daysailer was a new build from the nonprofit Gig Harbor BoatShop. The Gannet was designed by Ian Oughtred, a Scotsman well known for his small boat designs. The Gannet displays the aesthetics of a traditional wooden boat but is being built with modern boat building techniques. This boat was built as a part of the Maritime Mentorship Program, which is designed to pair experienced boat builders and boat restorers with college-aged youth to teach them boat building, boat repair and boat restoration skills.
