Church Mouse Skiff

A simple, elegant skiff—designed to be built, used, and shared.

Overview

The Church Mouse Skiff is proof that a small boat can offer a big experience. Drawn from a concept by Joel White and refined through hands-on builds with students and families, this 7'5"' skiff is approachable for first-time builders yet satisfying for experienced hands.

Built from two sheets of marine plywood, the design eliminates unnecessary complexity while preserving the graceful proportions and seaworthy character of a traditional skiff. It’s light, capable, and well-suited for rowing, sailing, or simply getting out on the water.

More information can be found in WoodenBoat #310.

A plywood kit with all planking and plywood parts pre-cut will be available at the WoodenBoat store for pickup only starting this summer.
