Harbor Woodworks offers custom kits and boats, tailored to your specifications and desired level of completion. We ship to the U.S. and Canada.
The Goat Island Skiff is a brilliant combination of simplicity and competence. Slightly overcanvassed, in the Australian fashion, it can be sailed fast and hard - if you're so inclined. With a reef or two in, even a moderately competent skipper can manage quite brisk conditions. It is very light weight, which makes it both fast and easy to handle ashore. The simplicity also makes for a quick build and a remarkably inexpensive kit for the high level of boat one ends up with. I own one of these myself, and love it.
