Grey Fox
Builder Name:
Jim Allen
I built this Clint Chase-designed 16′ Calendar Islands Yawl from a kit from Chase Small Craft. After a year and a half of weekends and nights building it, I got it launched in June 2018, just in time for the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic, CT.
24 ft Launch - Fisherman
Designer
Robert Clayton
A versatile half-canopy launch, offering many internal layout options. She is especially suited for employment as a personnel launch or commercial fisherman/crabber; or maybe just a family launch.
Puddle Boat
Builder Name:
Denney Freeston
Built from just a single sheet of plywood, this Puddle Boat designed by William Garden got plenty of attention from Denney Freeston's grandchildren this summer.
Stand-Up Paddleboard
Builder Name:
Ric Sternkopf
In Pawaukee, Wisconsin, Ric Sternkopf designed and built these two stand-up paddleboards and launched them last April. The boards are 18′ long, 26″ wide, and weigh 38 lbs. They are made of stitch-and-glued 3mm okoume and sapele plywood.
