The Skiff

The idea of a small craft to row around on the dam resulted in an internet search for plans and the skiff now known as Skewiff was initiated.
The plans were originally conceived as a quick father/son project by Herb McLeod and were obtained for free here.
The cost was less than $100 and most of that was for the one sheet of marine ply.
The construction is documented in the slide show.
The completed skiff languished for a while in the shed, while I constructed a pier from which to launch it. Then was launched successfully at a family gathering in June 2023.
