Yellowfin 17

17 feet by 21inches

35 pounds

This experimental boat is based on my bluefin design but utilizes the glued lapstrake construction. Panels are overlapped and glued rather than fiberglassed. this saves quite a lot of weight. Sheer and deck pannels were stained to contrast with the natural wood of the rest of the boat.

Schoodic 17 canoe

It is built using the glued lapstrake process where then pre-cut panels are beveled along one edge, wired together stitch and glue fashion with the panels overlapping and then the joints are filled with epoxy.

I built this one this spring for a church freind.

I stained the top plank, left the rest natural and finished the whole boat with spar varnish

I will write the instructions for building this boat this fall, call for more information
