A CLC Noreaster Dory built in an apartment garage. She will be fitted with a sloop rig soon.

My 9′6″ Nutshell Pram. I commissioned it to be built by the Long Island School of Wooden Boatbuilding where I lent a hand and became part of the process. I launched it on 9/23/2018 — and can say with confidence that it is the best boat I’ve ever sailed.

A presentation of the Little Miss Sally boat in Small Boats Monthly inspired me to build the boats for my kids.

Beetlecat Hull # 43. Originally constructed in 1946. Reframed and replaced transom, keel, and centerboard box. Parts of deck and hull needed to be replaced. Work resembled an archeological dig. In places there were iron fasteners, bronze fasteners and stainless steel screws.

“Re-launching” under a new green-and-white sail, Rooster Class sailboat #715, SARAH (built in 1982) glides along on Lake Thunderbird, Oklahoma as part of the “Summer Sailstice”.

Dunwerkin is our first wooden boat. It’s a 14′ square stern kayak made of cedar. Runs like a dream. I am proud of it although I just paddle. I didn't build it. That job was left to a friend.
