The St. Lawrence River skiff looks kind of like a canoe but the hull shape couldn’t be more different. Canoes are boxy down low which gives them excellent carrying capacity and a ton of initial stability but that comes at the cost of efficiency and final stability. St. Lawrence skiffs and guideboats have more of a classic wherry shape with a narrow waterline when sitting level (which makes them fast) but a ton of reserve buoyancy as you heel them over. In any size of this boat I would literally

I'm very happy with how this second 1.10 scale prototype St. Lawrence River skiff is turning out.Frames are level and stems are plumb and apart from missing about an inch of sheer which I talked about yesterday, I nailed the lines on this one which is a very different situation from the first prototype.With the stringers clamp to the laminated frames and set to my best guess on heights, those plywood templates that you see in the ends dropped in like a glove even though they were just drawn from

Sailing the St Lawrence River Skiff upriver, downwind, in the Columbia River Gorge. This boat will eventually get a larger sail capable of running and reaching. But for this first camping trip, I just stuck one of our 1.7 m² pop-up canoe sails up front to take advantage of favorable breezes. Even with this tiny scrap of cloth, we are still sailing faster than we could row or pedal in about 12 mph of breeze capsize risk is minimal. We covered 18 miles this way yesterday, sometimes pushing against

Progress so far on the St. Lawrence River Skiff. I couldn’t resist one more look at the boat before bedtime. I haven’t been posting much about this project because I need to focus on getting the boat finished. I am, however, documenting the whole build and putting it on YouTube every week, so if you’re interested in the design and construction process just search Cape Falcon Kayak on YouTube or follow the link in the profile. In about a week, we should have this on the water. . . . #smallboats #
