Keith started this project in 2003 when he found her upside down in a backyard with most of the wood parts missing or broken. From such a humble beginning, Keith has worked the boat from ugly to beautiful:

The centerboard and rudder have been made in Mahogany, the handrails are all Teak and the thwarts are Mahogany. The paint used is Sterling LP which he greatly prefers and has used on several other craft.

Keith also owns an Erikson 25 which he renovated and sails every year in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. The addition of the M-12 replaces an 8 foot Periwinkle as the preferred daysailer to use in the Lakes around his Oregon home.
