I built this little Beach Pea so my granddaughters and I can learn to sail, it also rows very nicely. It is constructed of doug fir marine ply for the planks and almost everything else is ash. The name and paint job were inspired by traditional Jamaican fishing boats.

Attached are some picture of our completed (finally) Peeler Skiff that my daughter and I started at GLBBS in 2013. First launch, Suttons Bay, Michigan.

Lunenburg handline dory — launched August 16th. I took a two-week course at The Dory Shop in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia two years back. It took some time to gather the necessary materials and build the forms and jigs. Plus, I developed the workshop as I went along.

The boat is stitch and glue construction from a kit produced by Chesapeake Light Craft. The red pieces were stained prior to construction in order to highlight the “artistic” puzzle joints that designer Nick Schade uses. The build took 59 work days/134.5 hours spread over a five month period.

MINNIE is a modified David Stimson Ocean Pointer launched in July 2014. She was built over a period of 10-years, with many starts and stops due to other commitments. The modifications include stringers and engine beds, a 10.5″ deep keel and a different design for the center console.
