Building the Church Mouse Skiff

Boatbuilding educator Joe Youcha introduces the Church Mouse Skiff, a long-lost Joel White design he recently rediscovered and built with a group of high-school students in Virginia. The 7′ boat is built from just two sheets of plywood, and has become the centerpiece of WoodenBoat School’s Family Week boatbuilding class. This video shows the highlights for the construction; a detailed instructional series begins in WoodenBoat magazine No. 310. Plans and plywood-panel kits are available from The WoodenBoat Store.
