Launchings

A CLC Noreaster Dory built in an apartment garage. She will be fitted with a sloop rig soon.

The design brief for Haven was inspired by Lyman and other lapstrake runabouts popular in the late 1950s. She was designed for me by Paul Gartside.

Though he tells us right away that he is not a carpenter, Dave Hepler did a pretty good job on this Glen-L Runabout, LITTLE ADVENTURE. His daughter, Lauren, was his chief assitant, though her carpentry skills were not any better than his.

This is an Arrow 14 geodesic canoe designed by Platt Monfort. I used spruce for the stringers, gunwhales, and rub rails, oak for the ribs, cutwaters, and keel, mahogany for the breasthook and knee stems, cherry for the gussets, and maple for the thwarts. The skin is 30 gauge vinyl.

Guillemot design kayak.
Strip plank cedar.

Rescued (not my build) and have stripped off 3 kgs of paint and bits.
More to do over time.
Beautiful already.

I was having difficulty getting out of my SOT kayak and needed a small skiff to row around the lake near my house. I wanted something I could put in the back of my S10 pickup, so I chose the Hannu 10 1/2 foot skiff.

MARGALO is the name of a 9′6″ Nutshell pram built by Bill Denny of Washington State, for his son, Will, and daughter, Lindsay. Will and Lindsey chose MARGALO after Stuart Little's dear friend in the book of that name by E.B. White.

Traditionally built, open, double-ended wooden boat.

Kevin Moroney of Cape Coral, Florida, was building an 18′ modified sharpie skiff when his grandson, Colin, was born in Denver, Colorado, last year.

Inspired by George Cockshott's International 12 dinghy, Rein Schermerhorn "kept the main characteristics" of the Int'l. 12 in mind as he designed and built JOLi for use in the canals and shallow lakes near his home in the northwest of Holland.
