Atkins Flat Bottom Skiff
Length: 14′ 1/2″ Beam: 4′ 1/2″
Type: Row and/or motor
Construction: Western red cedar on oak frames.
Coming in at 14 ½’ in length and a 4 1/2’ beam and constructed of western red cedar over oak, these simple designs make a good boat for beginning students to build during this first quarter at the Boat School. Rugged enough to launch right from the shore and easy enough to haul on a trailer, this skiff is great for rowing, fishing, or as a tender to another vessel. Easily carries a small outboard, a few friends or small family, and gear.
Price: $4,700

Abaco Dinghy
Length: 15′ 1/2″ Beam: 4′ 1/2″ Displacement: 550 lbs Rig: 120 sq ft Marconi
Construction: Western red cedar on sawn oak frames with sapele sheer strakes and guards, oak knees, locust and sapele transom on a purpleheart backbone.
The Abaco is built from modified plans as part of the wooden boatbuilding program. Students decided to stretch the original design by 2 feet when it was lofted to accommodate for more capacity. The build is done using sawn frames milled out of oak. The oak pieces are offcuts of Jay Smith’s 50’ Viking ship build.
