G'day all.  I don't see too many Skipjack builders out there!  I'm going to replace the Albacore at the cottage with this one.  The Alb is a bit too much of a hot-rod to have a relaxing sail.  Love the look of the SS with the cutter bow and gaff rig, and a nice flat floor with no centreboard to get in the way.
Any other Super Skipjack builders in the area?
Welcome to the madness Brian.  The super skipjack is a relatively new design that I probably would have built instead of my weekender.  Good luck in your build.
Welcome aboard,I'm building a Skipjack that might possibly even see the water this year....

not in the area tho but same continent Smile

There are a couple of other Skipjack builders I have seen here'bouts  somewhere.

Good Luck an dont forget some pics,do luv the Boat porn.

I'm to the west of you south of Owen Sound wit my Weekender.  There's a few of us but you are the only skipjack I'm aware of.
Well, I'm on the '1 Year Plan' to build this, the first 6 months of which will be cleaning out my garage...
Thanks for the replies, will be posting as questions occur to me

Hi,

I am in the early stages of dreaming of possibly building a boat. I don't have a good place to build, but I am on a waiting list for a garage, that is too short for a Weekender, so I at the moment I am dreaming of a "Saturday" - a shortened Weekender, or actually a "Super Skipjack" with a cabin. I plan to sail her (mostly?) alone on the Danish coasts.
Im not A rep for this company but for about $500.00 and a friends lawn (we own and have our own lawn) Big Grin Pun intended., contact Shelterlogic on the internet and I've mentioned this so many times here trying to help us Newbies.  Our Weekender is currently being built in New England.
    Going into our second year of building "JoeDee's Song" has been warm & dry all along.

Yesss! I obught a shelterlogic 2 months ago and started my weekender. Alas, i received a city notice to dismantle the shelter for it is the law after the 27 of april each year. Very sad! i almost had it to 3D.. now it rests in the basement until i find a garage. no christening for me this year.
Where do you live?
    Every where in the United States they are Tax Free temporary shelters.
