I’ve been building this auk for the last five years in my garage. The idea was that I would learn how to build a boat with this one and then move onto something a little larger, but I am not too sure how my wife will take to the news that I’m starting another one.
This is a modified version of a T.L. Simmons 18′ sea skiff.I used marine plywood sides instead of Lapstrake. I use the boat in the 10,000 Islands and in the Atlantic. Very seaworthy and tough.
The Sinne 610 is an expedition rowing boat designed by Ruud Van Veelen and built by Walter Baron of Old Wharf Dory Co. This is the second boat built to these lines, and the first in North America. It is fully decked, with lots of covered storage.
FOUR WHEELS is owned by four Wheelers - Peter, Anne, Katie, and Allison. It is a 1959 Lynman Outboard that had been sitting in a barn for 30 years before Peter rescued it. He took it completely apart, stripped everything, and was able to reuse all of the original pieces except the horn.
Allen Kay and his sons (Colin on left, Ian on right) finished a 14′ Kaholo just in time for a short paddle in Maryland before hauling it to Lake Megunticook in Maine for two weeks to put it through its paces. “They love it,” Allen says.
Bob Bondi used Okoume plywood, spruce, cherry, mahogany, and black walnut in building this Shellback dinghy, designed by Joel White. He modified the plans to include a pivoted centerboard and a kickup rudder. Bob completed the boat in August 2003.
When designing The Ashes Solo Day, I imagined a boat where the paddler could stand to look over brush, or apply leverage to push through a mat of grass.
My boat is a “couch boat” which is the only description I could think of since I designed it for comfortable seating and aesthetic Italian curvy lines.
Shell Boats of St. Albans, VT, provided the design for this 12' Swifty built by Arnie Goodman and his son Sam, of Tampa, FL. They launched her on May 31, 2004 on Tampa Bay, FL. She is of lapstrake plywood construction with an unstayed mast and sprit boom.
