Big boats: traditional skiff boatbuilding

Want to contribute to building a big boat? The St. Ayles Skiff is a 4-oared rowing boat, measuring 22’ (length) with a beam (width) of 5’ 8”. Led by experienced boatbuilder and Lagan Currachs co-founder Niamh Scullion, you will have a chance to construct the boat’s hull and frames from clinker method plywood. To arrange a visit or to contribute to the skiff build, please register your interest via the form here.
