When it comes to building a small wooden boat it's hard to beat a skin-on-frame (SOF) for economy of time and materials during construction and ease of use when the boat's finished. Dave Gentry's Annabelle Skiff is a 10′ SOF for sailing and rowing. Weighing just 63 lbs, it's well-suited for cartopping, and about as easy to carry and launch as a kayak. The skiff is rated for 400 pounds, and has room for carrying a passenger. Skin is 8oz polyester.
