Our workshop builds faithful recreations using premium marine Mahogany, Western Red Cedar, and Teak-reinforced with fiberglass cloth and sealed with high-grade marine epoxy. Each boat is handcrafted using authentic lapstrake (clinker) methods, with each plank meticulously fitted and finished with multiple coats of marine spar varnish to achieve deep gloss and long-lasting protection. The interior is updated with modern marine-grade vinyls while retaining the period-correct aesthetic and polished hardware. Typical build time ranges from 4-6 months depending on customization.

History:

The Audeen is a striking icon of the mid-century 'custom-runabout' era, a design that blends the aggressive lines of a racer with the practical layout of a family sportboat. Born from the post-war boom in recreational boating, the Audeen was refined to be a versatile 'do-it-all' vessel-capable of pulling a skier in the morning and hosting a formal cocktail cruise in the evening. It represents the height of American 'sport-luxury,' where performance was never sacrificed for style.
Celebrated for its 'flat-out' speed and iconic flared bow, the Audeen was the preferred choice for the adventurous pilot who valued agility and a dry ride. Its design emphasizes a low center of gravity and a wide transom, providing a level of stability at high speeds that few competitors could match. This legacy of high-performance craftsmanship has made the Audeen one of the most beloved and collectible names for those who crave the 'wind-in-your-face' thrill of a vintage wooden speedster.
