MISS-JULIE , MISS-VIVIAN, COLE-WILLIAM, BECKETT, WYATT
We have five grandchildren from 14 years down to 7 years so I built a (wee lassie) for each one and had them lettered from a local clasic car sword striper artist (Dr Ru,) they call him around the Detroit area.Took a few years to complete them all.
COLOMBE
I started building my Melonseed Skiff in 2017 and finished it in 2021. Because I do not have a garage or large shed, I did work outdoors from May to November (living in Sherbrooke, Québec).
VITA BELLA

Rangeley 17 type Rehnberd
This Rangeley 17 built out of drawings from Newfound Woodworks. It differs in some details from the normal Rangeley 17. Due to where it will ber used we made a longer foredeck altered the sheerline a little and the transom has an arc shape not the flat as normal.
Periwinkle
A modified Chesapeake Light Craft Guider. I built this boat over the 2021-2022 winter in my garage/shop in Connecticut. I am sailing her out of Pulpit Harbor in Penobscott Bay, Maine.
BLUEBELL
Jericho Bay Lobster Skiff.
I added 6″ to the design for a length of 16′.
I also lowered the sheer by 4 inches up forward for more ease in boarding from the beach.
25 H.P. 4-stroke Tohatsu pushes the boat to 26 mph with one person.
