Anemone
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
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.
SKYLLA'S TENDER
Auk, okoume plywood epoxy clinker planking on oak stem and keel. Rig - ballanced lug.
DAY THERAPY
Chesapeake Light Craft strip built hybrid by Bob Silverman (2nd time boatbuilder) - wood duck hybrid 12 with white alaskan cedar and red western cedar planks. Took me 2 months and really enjoyed the build.
