After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
The Chesapeake Bay is home to many wonderful work boats, one of the most unique is the tiny Smith Island Crab Skiff. Our team race boat the “Twisted Oyster”, built and raced by a consortium of three friends, has been very successful.
The AC 75 Evolution design input was to crate a trailerable boat with a small displacement, building with traditional materials such as wood. Another request was to have a comfort and an interior volume typical of larger size boats. We have modified the deck lines to achieve these results.
600 Lion Yacht project despite its small size, has a spacious interior, and allows you to comfortably make trips to the inland waters and coastal seas.
“Mouse Grande” is the last of the mouse family. As the name implies she is the biggest with most internal volume. Large cockpit with two small flotation chambers/storage compartments at both ends. Preference was given to stability. Anglers can stand up and cast.
