15' Cape Cod Classic Rowing Skiff

I just finished the design of this classic rowing skiff and have now uploaded it to the web site. So far there are three being built anf everyone says it's going together quite easily. This should be simple, fun, and lightweight - a great little boat for those wanting to row and cover the miles for a healty change or for waterways that prohibit motors. I've always had the fantasy of dropping a boat in the water in Minneapolis and rowing to New Orleans down the Mississippi - maybe from my childhood reading Mark Twain. If I were to do that alone, this would be the boat I'd do it in.
