Aubrey and her dad built this one sheet skiff for her vacation on a lake. It’s made with 1/4″ marine fir glassed with epoxy with cedar trim.

The boat is stitch and glue construction from a kit produced by Chesapeake Light Craft. The red pieces were stained prior to construction in order to highlight the “artistic” puzzle joints that designer Nick Schade uses. The build took 59 work days/134.5 hours spread over a five month period.
