Bay River Skiff

A versatile family daysailer with a
simple tent, has camping capability for two. She sails comfortably and fast with her simple cat ketch rig - self-tacking, weatherly and stable down wind, the free standing rig is uncluttered and inexpensive. Motors and rows, so she is suitable for fishing and exercise rowing. |

Cruising Baja on a Bay River Skiff

Sunrise over Cape Lookout lighthouse looking thru stern opening. Wow! What a sight to wake up to, "a million dollar view in a thousand dollar boat." |

Loon with three pvc bows, covered with a home made nylon tent. Note the mizzen moved forward to the reefed position which clears the cockpit for living space. The floor boards, aft, lift up onto cleats to make a double berth. Comfortable |
| and private camping and all the gear, as well as your provisions stow neatly away in the lockers. There is even a space to put a porta-potti alongside the centerboard trunk - accessible with the berth made up! As a matter of fact, all of the locker space is still available when the boat is set up for sleeping - a luxury not found on many larger "yachts". | |
  Construction is plywood and epoxy. The detailed plans offer the option of two interiors and either taped or chine seam hull. |
