herring skiff plans
Free plans by ira einsteen. thank you to ira for providing these great plans for anyone who wishes to look, dream, or build the herring skiff.when i first approached ira for permission to link to his plans, i asked him why he did not charge a little for them, below is a <snip> from his response.. The herring skiff is the traditional workboat of lake superior’s north shore, but its rugged and practical design make it a great choice for a wooden fishing or pleasure boat today. this stout vessel is designed to be powered by a modest 10 to 15 hp outboard motor, dragged up on a rocky shore and handle well with hundreds of pounds of fish. Ira einsteen's free double paddle dory & herring skiff (free plans and building instructions for a 12' stitch 'n' glue outboard skiff) lewis boat works (free and low-cost plans for flat bottom jon-boats, skiffs and pirogues). 
herring skiff plans The dutch had a near monopoly of the herring fishing from the 15th to the 17th centuries. the boats, called busses, were very large.they lay overnight with the drift nets set to catch the herring and were hauled by hand in the morning. the herring were salted and placed in barrels. these barrels were then transferred to small boats called jagers, which were tenders to the busses.. The sea vessel used by the dutch herring fishermen in the 15th through early 19th centuries is called a herring buss. these large boats and the salt-curing process made it possible to preserve herring at sea and as a result allowed the dutch fishermen to follow the herring shoals far from the coasts..
