Anemone
Builder Name:
Nate Spencer-Mork
I fell in love with the Biscayne Bay 14 when I first came to Woodenboat School 30 years ago. Life intervened, and it took nearly 30 years before I built a boat from the plans I bought way back when. She is largely built according to the how-to articles in WoodenBoat issues 96-98.
SWEET and LOW
Year Built:
1963
Just Purchased Sweet and Low from Chris and Lois Chadbourne. Getting ready to cruise full time. Can’t wait to get going on this beautiful boat! Chris did a wonderful job of restoration and upgrading all of the systems. A true retirement boat, as Ralph Wiley originally built it to be.
