Starting in November 2011, we launched a virtual complete tear-down and restoration of the Drake, a 1967, 26' Lyman Cruisette. According to her build sheet, she was originally outfitted with seamed, teak planking.
What was left of that planking was removed. After replacing all of the foredeck, aft deck and gunwale framing, a new book-matched, seamed and oiled teack plank deck was applied. Here she is emerging from the Snake Mountain Boatworks shop on March 19, 2012.
 Enjoy the Drake's debut!



Installing the restored cabin house and roof, and all the hardware will complete this project.
