Recreational/open-water scull loosely based on Graeme King’s immortal ‘Kingfisher.’ It’s built with 1/8″ thick red & yellow cedar strips & covered with one layer of 2oz fiberglass cloth. Strips are rectangular & individually block planed to fit. Riggers, sliding seat & foot stretcher are custom built by Carl Douglas, UK. Oars are Concept 2 carbon.
It’s a blast to row!
(I learned the construction technique under the patient tutelage of Joe Greenley, Redfish Kayaks)

Mike. Thank you for posting BORIS an beautiful shell. I’ve recently finished a 22 sligin seat pulling boat, my first wood project and look forward to elevating my skills while attempting to build a beautiful shell like BORIS, an inspiration. Rick Jacques, Newburyport, MA, USA
Absolutely gorgeous. I have a hard chined shell that was designed by Graeme King and built by Gordy Nash in California. I’m guessing I purchased it in about 1990, shipped from California in a paper tube. It looks like a pile of sticks compared to yours…I live on Lake Tapp and still spend many mornings within. I kind of miss the salt water. Bravo

I read your description and realized we both have kingfishers. Bet I would have to rob a bank to get you to sell that one!!!!
Thanks, Scott. I don’t think I could ever part with it. Too much a part of me. A ridiculous amount of time to construct.
Wow! 👍 Beautiful my friend, thanks for sharing. 😎
