I've heard a lot about Mr. Yost studied him in book and on the water. I built boats for Hornbeck and my son has built for placid boats. My life is on the water. Thank you to all the boat designers and builders who have given me something to care about
I own a David Yost designed Swift Cruiser 16.8. It was my pleasure to meet David at his shop along with Bill Swift the day I picked up my new canoe. They were just putting the finishing touches on the prototype wood strip Cruiser 14.8. Both David and Bill are true ambassadors of paddle sports.
What a great tribute to David Yost. My Bell Northstar (David Yost design) anniversary edition continues to give me pleasure plying the Adirondack waters. I have met and spoken with David on several occasions and admire his passion for a sport I have enjoyed all my life.
Dave, I raced against you in the mid to late '70's. I don't remember ever beating you. My highest finish in a point race was a second place to Dan Tracy's first place. Jamie Cuningham took third in the Rushton Memorial in Canton NY. I bought a Sawyer Autumn mist afterretiring from canoe racing. I chose that canoe because the lines were quite simmilar to the tandum Sawyer cruiser. years later I heard or read that you are the designer who designed the Autumn mist. It is a fantastic boat. I cherish it and still paddle it. To bad someone is not producing it. Solo canoeing is going without one of the very best designs ever.Dan Andrews
I had the honor of meeting David and seeing his Springwater shop when we traded Bell canoes many years ago- I traded my 17 for his 15. I've had two Bells since and a Swift Algonquin 15, all designed by David, and all superb in their lines and function. He's the Michelangelo of canoe design, fusing art, science and engineering into his work.
I own a DY design Swift Algonquin, my 1st sampling of a quality boat, and will never sell it. Keep up the good work.
Hi David... I have a conoe on order from Swift that is one of your designs... A pack 14 Prospector. I am looking so forward to getting that canoe into the water and out on my first solo of the season.

Fantastic. Love to hear the story behind the man.
Thanks for a really interesting part of canoe history Brian 76
Thank you for watching, Brian. What David Yost has done in serving paddlers is astonishing. It was a pleasure to meet him, and help tell his story.
You did it well, he seems like someone I would like to spend time Talking with. Brian 76
L O V E this!!!
Now i know i am not the only one who does their own water line arceteture.
Fantastic. Is Canoe Roots still a thing?
Sir, can you do a video teaching lofting?
Mr. Yost, how can they be even more stable? I just got a Swift ADK Pack 13.6, took it to the river Colorado on my way home from Canoecopia, put it in the water not realizing the bad weather that was announced with wind guts of up to 80 kmph put me in danger and fear for my life; watch it here; th-cam.com/video/sQOuJlgAz00/w-d-xo.html I am not an experienced paddler and may be I overreacted here but this is my second boat; my first is a Hornbeck ADK Pack Classic 12 which is really tippy for me and gear and less stable than the Swift I have now @ almost 14 feet in length; I heard you may have designed the Swift 13.6 and you have designed some for Pete Hornbeck too? In any case, I am in a quest to find a boat that can take winds and choppy conditions without throwing you in the drink, especially when we are solo out there in water temperatures of 44 degrees which could bring hypothermia as fast as 40 minutes; or is it that not canoe boat should be in the water when bad weather sets in? I do not want to go over 14 feet of length as the ability of carrying while solo is also important to me; The Hornbeck Classic 12 weights 18 pounds but is not made for anything other than mill pound or still water conditions, according to my experience; now the Swift Pack 13.6 weight 27 pounds, still not bad for carrying and portaging and I find it easier to get in and out and also more stable although harder to maneuver than the Hornbeck with its hollow cheeks design. I would love to find myself happy with a boat that will serve me and calls me for all adventures out there without issues! Is this even possible with a pack canoe?
I note the lack of courtesy of replies to posts.
Regret selling my Bell Northwind designed by DY
