“Sea Shadow,” Canada’s first St. Ayles skiff, was launched on June 1st. Twelve friends from the Bay of Quinte region in eastern Ontario started the project at the beginning of January. Most of the group knew their way around a woodworking shop and a few had prior boat building experience. Our hope is to see more boats built by communities in the region, around the province and across Canada. We will be taking the boat to this year’s WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport to compete in North American Championships.

Jack Lightfoot has been busy. He built a Francis Herreshoff/John Gardner pram, then an Iain Oughtred McGregor canoe (15'8" x 33"), and has now started a Phil Bolger dory. Jack writes the McGregor took him six months to build, and that was without using any power tools. He used iroko and luan plywood, dimensional spruce, and some salvaged mahogany. The McGregor self-steers, he adds, but the winds at Christmas Tree Island, FL, are too strong for the sails most of the time.

Bev and Frank Salomonsen of Rochester, Minnesota, built this balanced-lug sailboat from plans of the Tirrik design by Iain Oughtred. They built the 16′10″ hull from okoume plywood planking, with stem and keel of white oak. They gave the white oak and mahogany deck a varnished finish to show off the beauty of the woods used. In this photograph, Frank, Bev, and their friend Captain Halvard Korsberg christen the boat NORSKA FLICKA last August at Leech Lake, Minnesota. You might see them sailing on any of Minnesota’s many lakes.
