Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due...

We thought we were pretty clever in coming up with the name “Lumberyard Skiff” for our project boat  in Getting Started. Then we discovered that Walter Baron of Old Wharf Dory Company had us beat  by years.

While we’re sorry to have stepped on Walter’s turf with this naming overlap, we’re also delighted  to find that his boat—a simple skiff that can be built in both 16′ and 20′ models—fits the Getting Started
philosophy beautifully.  You can visit his web site, www.oldwharf.com, to view and purchase plans for his Lumberyard Skiffs. The 20-footer is a big and burdensome outboard-powered center-console model, and you may find that one of Walter’s designs fits your needs more than our
relatively small boat.
