Iain Oughtred's Skerrieskiff 15' - week 1

The Skerrieskiff is a 15' double-ended wooden sailboat.  It will have a 60 square foot lug sail and I plan to trim out the interior in mahogany.  The finished boat should weigh under 200 lbs (not including sails and mast).  Here are a few photos from the first week of construction.
