St Lawrence skiff


We have finished the skiff!!

6 meter completed


At the beginning of the year we worked with Jespersons Boatbuilders to rebuild Llanoria. A 2 time Olympic 6 Meter. The project was to rebuild her to race in the next 6 Meter worlds in Helsinki Finland. The deadlind for the project was June 1st 2011 and we met that target date. We started in January replacing 1/2 of the frames and the lower planking. Removed the ballast and repaired the keel and stem. A new transom and floors were built. The boat was wedge seamed, refastened, faired and painted. Deck beams and deck were replaced. Yachttech (www.yachttech.com) in Sidney rebuilt the rig and have done an amazing job.
It was a pleasure to work with Jespersons and there crew.
