Officialized: The Most Famous Goat In The World

AHOY MATEYS

The Traditional Small Craft Association has honored itself by placing IAZ,P on the cover of their Summer 2014 issue! (Of course, I am a proud member of the TSCA, a most worthy organization that you should join, so I am likewise honored).  

Intrepid Reader, you are well aware that we are not entertainers of nuance or understatement here at GISAmateur Style.  Therefor, I will now proclaim the following inevitable statement that you have anticipated with quick, gasping, bated breath:  

This makes IAZ,P THE MOST FAMOUS GOAT ISLAND SKIFF IN THE WORLD.

ALL GOATS WORLD-WIDE JOIN IN SALUTE TO THE TSCA FOR THIS MOMENTOUS MOMENT-OF-MOMENTS

Some info for the salivating hordes that will descend upon this blog:

IAZ,P is a 15'6" Goat Island Skiff designed by Mik Storer, launched in 2010 built of okoume, cedar, and doug fir.  Does not have a galley, head, or shower.  Comes equipped with a 105sq.ft. balanced lugsail, goaty attitude, and is flexi-mission capable.  Easily and economically built in your garage, the GIS will provide performance, fun, and far-flung adventure. Robustly supported by an international cadre of Goat Roping Sailors who will provide comprehensive crowd sourced product support at a moment's notice.

IAZ,P is now proudly sailed by Cap'n Patrick Danger-Danger who hails from Brooklyn-by-Jamaica Bay.
