Took the ERIE FEELING (Jeff Spira’s Clemente design) for a maiden voyage. Almost 2 1/2 years making. It was an outdoor summertime weekend family project. Still needs finishing touches but it performed well. This is build #2. Number 1 was Jeff's same smaller Hatteras version.

THE OTHER SIDE is a 16 foot drift boat built to fish the upper Kenai river for trophy rainbow trout. She is built on a Don Hill design and constructed primarily of clear fir by Sailor Ellison, and Bill Blanas in Nikiski Alaska.

Gypsy is a 14′ dory built over the winter by Bill Blanas with the help of his minions George Rhodes and Adrian Reinhardt. It is built primarily of Sitka spruce, and was launched this September at Jewel Lake in Anchorage, Alaska, in a carnival-like atmosphere.

On May 9, 2016, the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe, Japan, launched this 22′9″ Isobune, a type of fishing boat developed in Tohoku, Japan. The boat was built as an exhibition at the museum by Douglas Brooks, who is a boatbuilder from Vergennes, Vermont.
