Mark McGinley built this Iain Oughtred–designed 7-1/2′ Auk ELSIE KAY from okoume plywood as well as locally cut quarter-sawn oak, ash, and pine. She is the tender for his Pacific Seacraft PS-25 located in the Apostle Islands area of Lake Superior.
Though he’s read WoodenBoat magazine for most his adult life, Andrew Noble of Basket Range, South Australia, finally built his first boat. MOLLIE is a 7′10″ Auk design by Iain Oughtred, and carries 42 sq ft of sail. Andrew bought the plans from Duck Flat Wooden Boats. He built her mostly from marine plywood, and scrap odds and ends, including quarter knees from an Australian oak wardrobe. She is named for Andrew’s grandmother.

Built as a gift for my mother, who missed going out on the lake that she lives on ever since my father passed away and this would get her back out there.
Built in Houston, Texas and Launched at Lake Texoma, Mead, Oklahoma.
