Description
Wooden Ships Comments on this John Kerr Rowing Skiff
Professionally built by John Kerr Boatbuilder around 2000 to a Phillip C. Bolger design. Believed to have been built by Kerr for himself as his last ever boat when he was suffering with lung cancer, hence the name of ‘Hope’.
Bolger was a prolific yacht designer from Gloucester, Massachusetts with many designs that came off his board.
It is understood she was built with a sprit rig but that is not with her currently. The rig is not quite complete and will need to be thought through some more. She has a dagger board and casing that was built into the boat originally.
An eye catching skiff, perfect for lazy family days on the river. Able to be rowed by one or two people in comfort giving her flexibility. Complete with a heavy duty galvanised road trailer.
Length 17’10”
Beam 4’6”
Construction
Clinker planked in marine plywood with epoxy glued lands.
Varnished teak shear strake plank. Mahogany transoms fore and aft.
Laid teak decks over a marine plywood subdeck with teak covering boards and rubbing strakes.
Varnished teak coaming around the cockpit.
Teak thwarts with plywood knees bonded into the hull for stiffness.
Spruce sole boards with very attractive tight grain.
Equipment
2 pairs of oars and rowlocks
Road trailer
Drop plate rudder + tiller
Dagger board
Mast, boom and yard
White terylene sail
