SKYE is a Lyle Hess 32, built by William and Elaine Eppick over a period of eight years and launched at Port Townsend in 1989. SKYE has a strip-planked Port Orford cedar hull, steam-bent white oak frames, Douglas fir mast and galvanized standing rigging, parceled and served. Interior woods are walnut, mahogany and maple. SKYE spent many years sailing in the Pacific Northwest with the Eppicks, and with a later owner has sailed to Hawaii and back.
