In Festival Boats 2018

This is a striking example of taking a classic boat design and applying custom features to keep the weight quite manageable yet balancing the variety of complementing woods to produce a very efficient and beautiful boat. While a relatively new construction, this boat can be seen frequently being rowed in the Port Townsend Bay, home of the owner/builder. This is a very stable and seaworthy boat that is rowed when waters are too rough for a rowing scull.
