Yankee Tender Build

The Yankee Tender Build was the culmination of our first quarter at the boat school. Unfortunately, we had approximately two weeks to complete the project and as you will see we almost got to the point of flipping it upright. Within the school there were 3 sections building the Yankee Tender, 1 building a Monk Skiff and 1 building a commissioned design (only two planks!). I'm pretty sure only one or two boats were actually completed 100%. Among the Yankee Tenders each had it's own uniqueness as the instructors tweaked the design based on their own personal experience.  I'm being honest when I say that the level of craftsmanship on our boat was at a pretty high level. It was a privilege to work with Bruce, our instructor, and my fellow students: Jorah, Steve, Clemmons, Jon, Davyn, Clark, Garrett, Eric, Heidi, Robert, Dude and the class mascot, Morgan.

Below are some photos tracking the progress of the build.
