Parts for GIS Kit

A set of high quality plywood parts has been made. The boat will be dry fit and professional quality patterns will be made for creation of a CNC file. Kits are available now for new boatbuilders or seasoned boatbuilders. They will receive a CNC-cut kit that will go together to produce a hull that was professionally "tweaked" to get the fairest lines and best fitting components. In addition to the plywood parts, kits can be assembled for timber component (stem, frames and cleats, gunwales, etc.), epoxy and fiberglass/supplies, and hardware/cordage to help you fit out the boat and get on the water. Orders can be placed by contacting me directly at Clint@ClintChaseBoatbuilder.com

The Goat Island Skiff Project Begins

Michael Storer's Goat Island Skiff is a GREAT boat. We decided to build one for ourselves and use the boat as a test for producing high-quality, perfectly fitting kits to sell to amateurs and other professionals with little time on their hands. The goal for these kits is that they produce a hull with perfect lines that have been adjusted by a professional so new boatbuilders can get a fair hull that goes together easily. Every boat needs refinement. With our patterns, a CNC file will be made, and CNC kits will be produced. With Storer's thorough manual, a new boatbuilder can build a great boat for themselves and enjoy doing it because things fit and much of the tricky work has been done for them. Time will be saved and boatbuilders can get on the water sooner.

Clint modified the boat by adding a mizzen, making the boat more along the lines of a sail-and-oar boat and more easily singlehanded.
