Build your own skiff and pram in a week! In a week you will build your own boat and while doing so not only leave with a beautiful boat but learn a lot about boatbuilding. Using the precut wooden parts, an assortment of hand tools, quality adhesives, and some great teamwork, we will build a fleet of boats and have fun doing it.

Some will choose the P.E. Pram because they want a classic dinghy for use as a tender or just to messabout in on local waters. Some choose the Calico Skiff because they like the look for the pointy-bow and want something versatile for motoring, sailing and rowing. Both boats are built using out tab-n-lock system and feature a lapped sheer plank to really make her look beautiful. Both boats have an adjustable seat system inside, built-in flotation, and both are built with the highest-grade marine plywood available on the market.

Both boats have a maximum capacity of 4 adults, 2-3hp motor and weigh about 70-80lbs finished.
