Twisting the final wire stitch marked a small milestone in building a utility skiff. She is a Candlefish 16 by Sam Devlin and will be a gift to my son. A 20 hp Honda motor will drive her. My son will use it mostly for fishing and crabbing in Oregon. This is not a boat that will be treated like fine furniture and I intend to use a stout fiberglass layup. Tomorrow the seams will be tabbed with epoxy. Hopefully, she will be launched in April.
