Dragonfly 22'4

The boat is nice to row - a good combination of tippy enough for an intermediate, yet after a few days a novice will get the hang of it.

The deck around the sliding seat is a bit challenging to build. Because the boat is large and not for the amateur builder it has not had a big following.

If you are familiar with building canoe or a kayak you will not likely have any trouble if you want to try your hand at a new challenge. Building the shell will be similar to building the kayak. There are other rowing rigs on the market which you may be able to adapt to the Dragonfly.

Whitehall Row Boat

The Whitehall is a modern interpretation of a centuries old harbour rowing boat. Using woodstrip epoxy building techniques, this 15' boat weighs in at 100 pounds (approx 45 kilos).

Stony Lake Skiff

Used by several generations of cottagers for transportation around Stoney Lake, this double ended rowing skiff became known as a regatta winner. Thought to have been built by the Brown Boat Company, Lakefield, Ontario, the style is typical of the elegant cedar strip double ended skiffs built by several Peterborough area builders.

Steve Killing has re-faired the hull and added slightly more volume to the ends to make rowing at moderate and high speeds more efficient. With two rowing positions, it is a versatile craft to enjoy alone or with your favourite partner out for a little fishing or an evening of conversation.

Rice Lake Skiff 13/9

This sweet little skiff was built by the Rice Lake Boat Works during the transition from muscle power to the outboard. Sure to be a very useful boat at the cottage for fishing, rowing or just knocking about. It is one of the most stable boats we offer and will row well with up to three adults on board or a whole fleet of youngsters.

A small outboard or electric motor will efficiently propel the boat for trolling, bird watching or just getting home a little faster. The lines were re-faired by Steve Killing keeping the character of the sheer, body sections and distinctive transom stern.
