“See-Ya” is my most recent small boat build. After retiring for a successful HR Career, I started building a series of other small boats that included a double paddle kayak, a nutshell pram, a cosine wherry, a tandem kayak and a Somes Sound 12 1/2. “Sea-Ya” designed by Doug Hyman was the answer to my dream of a small day sailor that I could easily trailer for adventures on either salt water or fresh water. I started building “Sea-Ya” while living in Vermont, but a move to Maine to be closer to our children interrupted the build as my wife and I built our new home during COVID. Finally, I got started building again in my new shop above our garage. I’m very pleased with the results.
“Sea-Ya” is constructed of sapele ply with mahogany and ash trim. She rows and sails beautifully, just like a pea pod should. Another one of the reasons I wanted to build this boat was to be able to teach my Grandchildren the joys of sailing. It’s a wonderful way to spend quality time with them. I look forward to many more days with a grandchild or two enjoying the wind in our faces as we sail the ponds and wonderful harbors of Maine.

Lovely little boat, Steve. Nice job!
“Son of Howdy”? but I like what you have named her 🙂
Thanks for the comment. It’s a neat little boat.
