This is a boat my largecraft class at Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding built from January to June. It is a design from the book “How to Build Wooden Boats: With 16 Small-Boat Designs by Edwin Monk”. It has 3/8 inch mahogany planking on oak frames with an alaskan yellow cedar deck. The runabout was a collaboration from my class and will be sold by the school.

Gorgeous, absolutely beautiful.
I been a boat owner of different types for 30 years, so I really appreciate what goes into building one out of wood.
