Why "Sacagawea"

I have decided to name my SkiffAmerica "Sacagawea" in honor of the Shoshone woman who was a guide and interpreter for Lewis and Clark on their expedition into the Northwest region of the United States. We will be exploring the Pacific Coast rivers, bays, and oceans, and the boat started its journey to me from St. Louis, Missouri, so I think the name fits.
The SkiffAmerica 20 is a 20 ft. outboard cruiser designed by Kilburn Adams of St. Louis, Missouri. The hull is built from BS1088 quality marine plywood using the taped seam method. The double chine hull is built right-side-up using a simple support frame.
After talking with Kilburn Adams the designer, builder, and owner of the first SkiffAmerica 20, I ordered the plans for the boat and began a build. It would take about two years part-time to finish. Kilburn has provided a very good set of plans that leave little to think about but just building the boat.
