Rob Richard sent these photos, taken by Ray Forbes, of a Kingfisher canoe built at WoodenBoat School during the summer of 2003.

Jaap Kraayenhof of Groningen, Holland, took seven years to build this 16′ catboat. He says he spent most of the time reading WoodenBoat magazine, and considers WB to be his boatbuilding training. The boat is built entirely of recycled wood.

Steve Batiste found the plans for this 'Corky' design on the website http://hometown.aol.com/polytarp/corky.htm . The article includes no citation to the builder or the designer.

Donal O'Callaghan writes that his boat is "one of those boats that whenever you row it, you should allow a few minutes to answer questions, because people are attracted to it like a magnet." He built this sleek beauty from plans by Graeme King of Putney, Vermont.

Roy Terwilliger acquired Snipe Class #3258 in 1972 and has spent several years restoring it. The boat was originally built in 1937 by Roger Gintling of Sparrows Point, Maryland, for a cost of $165.

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.

Robert Ellis calls this Glen-L 'Bojest' design LITEN TUT, which is Norwegian for Little Toot. It is 17'10" long with a beam just under 8 feet. Power comes from a Yanmar 1GMIO, 9.1-hp motor, which allows the boat to cruise at 7 knots.

Bill Bornemann writes that he "built this 9' long, 4' beam, plywood skiff inspired by Howard Chapelle's description of the flat iron skiffs in his book, Small American Sailing Craft. She was assembled and painted in one day as part of his 50th birthday celebration.

Ron Rosene bought this boat in the summer of 2002 and restored it over the winter. EL RAY BARQUERO. is a 21' x 7' Skillcraft Day Cruiser made by Henry Boats in Plain City, Ohio in 1968. Zimmerman Boat Works in Columbus Ohio restored all the surfaces.
