Three of the World's Youngest Boats

With a non-demoninational benediction and a sprig of greenery in the bow, the better to return landward, three new Union Bay skiffs were wetted in Lake Union yesterday. The skiffs, suitable for both sailing and rowing, not to mention fishing, crabbing, eating lunch, sanding and painting, are part of The Center for Wooden Boats family boatbuilding program. They were built in four days.
