Goat Island Skiff sailboat - G.I.S. - Designed by Michael Storer
amateur shipbuilding

How it was built:
My wife and I built a sailing boat in 2014: a Goat Island Skiff - G.I.S., designed by Michael Storer. We've never built anything like it before and we enjoyed every minute of this new challenge. It was finished in five weeks, of course the refinements took longer... Her name is Lucilla.
In the first few years we used it as a sailing boat on Lake Balaton. Then for a few years we transferred it to Lake Tisza and used it as a motorboat for bird watching. In the meantime, it was time for renovation (2020), we took it back to Lake Balaton to sail it again, and we have been using it here ever since... :-)
