TYEE ROWBOAT:
LOA 14' 3" Beam
51" Depth 18" Weight 170 lbs
The
Tyee boat, as it is known in Campbell River BC, Canada,
was developed from a lapstrake design wooden boat that
has been built on the west coast of Ireland for
centuries.
Our oars are available in 6 foot to
8'6" lengths. Other lengths available through special
order. Classic clinker built Tyee wooden row boats are
14' 3" long and have one or two rowing stations. These
custom wooden boats are designed to allow one rower and
two fishers to troll for large tyee / king salmon.
The hull provides stability in the sea swells but the
Tyee is also a welcome sport boat on fresh water lakes
in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Alaska and wherever the sport of fishing is
enjoyed.
These round bilge lapstrake boats have a
deep keel and curved up hull at the stern. They weigh in
at only 170 to 200 pounds depending on wood selection -a
design that works wonderfully in sea swells and permits
superb control by the rower, especially with a large
Salmon, Northern Pike or Muskee hooked on your line.
Hilmark Tyee wooden row boats are
custom made by hand in Comox Valley, British Columbia,
Canada.

These round bilge lapstrake boats have a deep keel
and curved up hull at the stern and weighs in at only
170 pounds - a design that works wonderfully in sea
swells and permits superb control by the rower,
especially with a large salmon hooked on your line. A
common working hull, these boats were the pick-up truck
of the 17, 18, and 1900s.
Many trips of several hundred
seamiles were undertaken in this style of wooden boat.
There's room for a guide (rower) and two fishermen in
the 14 foot model. When you have that big fish on the
line, you may not pay attention to where you stand and
how you move around - our rowboats are built to keep you
in control.
Rhodes Wherry:
LOA 10' 7" Beam 50" Depth 16" 100 lbs
Plus Sailing Kit
Her look is that of a classic old-time rowboat,
but she's a lot more than that...this one is complete
with a sail rig, and can handle an outboard with ease...
and she makes a superb yacht tender.
This is a
glued lap version of the Rhodes Wherry...she's even
painted wherry green like the original that is now
berthed at the Schoolhouse Museum in Lincolnville Beach,
Maine. That's about a mile from where she was built by
Stimp Rhodes over the winter of 1898-99.
These
lines and construction details were taken from an
original wherry built by Stimp Rhodes 107 years ago. The original boat is lapstrake cedar planking over
sawn frames with other natural crooks for knees, but she
can be built using laminated or even steamed members and
a variety of planking methods-glued lap construction
would be an excellent choice.
It is amazing
how much of a load this little wherry can handle. In
that respect she is much akin to Sunshine, and in fact
carries an identical sprit rig. Knowing she began as a
workboat attests to her capabilities despite her
deceptively small size. The Rhodes Wherry is an
exceptional tender and a lovely little boat.
