 Another zephyr nears completion!
Chris in Palm Beach is nearing completion of his Zephyr. He's done a magnificent job. I really like the way he's done his sheer clamps and decking. Very Nice! Chris sent me a link to his photo gallery. Check it out in the "Zephyrs" page.

In the summer of 2006 I built my first wooden sailboat; a "Zephyr" designed by Sam Devlin in Olympia, WA.  The Zephyr is Devlin's adaptation of the classic Melonseed skiff, built from plywood using the popular stitch-and-glue construction technique. This site was created to document my experience of building this boat, and hopefully to assist current and future builders of this delightful sailing skiff.

What's it like sailing a Zephyr? Here is a video clip that I shot with my digital camera while sailing on Lake Washington near Seattle in about 20 knots of wind.
