Another Eureka canoe has been launched – this one by Peter McKenzie – He is quite happy about the way the boat goes both light and loaded.
Review and Launching – Stephen’s Goat Island Skiff
Customer Review of the Goat Island Skiff: The maiden sail was fantastic, this skiff was far better than I had ever imagined and the lightest boat I have ever sailed, just glides through the water with very little effort.

GIS – Traditional good looks excellent sailing performance
I’m staying with Peter and Jo Hyndman – Peter built the first Goat Island Skiff to my plans about 12 years ago and we have been firm friends since.
Their boat is now 12 or 13 years old and has not been repainted or revarnished. Properly done with premium products and still looks great.
