I know that I am biased but, the EEL is a very nice boat...

My apologies Eric.
David, I want you to build a Dubois Street Dory for me after I win the lottery. :)
My first thought was just to leave Arthritis home. I got in trouble once when I mentioned to my wife, one icy morning that I had to drive gingerly to work. Ginger Lee was not allowed in my car after...

I could not recommend William Garden's EEL highly enough. The rig is a gunter. I carry all spars inside the cockpit. The boat can be launched in about 20 minutes. The cockpit can be built to be self...
But why would one be found at the NWEBS??
I need to post some new photos of my EEL, "Odalisque". She is now moored during the summer in front of our house on the Willamette River below Oregon City.
This is a narrow rocky stretch of water...
The Johnson 2cyl 4hp motor is known for it's reliability. I find that my 4hp motor is quieter than any air cooled motor. At more than 1/2 throttle you will have to speak up to converse with your...
My mother had a shake roof that as a kid, I treated with Thompson's Water Seal every three years. There was one spot that was too steep for me and not treated. The shake still turned silver but years...

The sails were made by Smith sails in Portland Oregon.
On the Schooner Creek site there are two EELS shown. Kestrel was hull #1, an open boat, still active in the...
I believe that she weighs about #1,500 finished. As you can see it is of WEST construction. When we took her off of the mold I could not believe how light the hull was. To try and get close to the...

Rich, I own one of these beautiful boats. It was built by Steve Rander of Schooner Creek Boatworks for me in 1978. Check out their website for some great photos of an EEl that was built after mine....
