This is my Mangrove 17 which I had built in 1986. It was the first flats skiff to
be built entirely with sandwich style construction. The hull is Airex and
everything else is Divinicell. This boat weighed about five hundred pounds less
than most other production flats skiffs built at that time. This photo conveys
the illusion that no one was operating this vessel. This was very carefully
choreographed and we were very careful to make sure everything was under
control when this photo was taken. We were not interested in being in
contention for any of the "Darwin Awards."
