BIJOUX
1920 Camper & Nicholson Dinghy / Yacht Tender / Wooden Sailboat with step mast, boom, tiller, rudder, center board, oars, oarlocks, and sails. This little gem has classic, beautiful lines. Bought her in Petworth, West Sussex, UK. 10′ LOA x 4′ Beam.
LONG WEEKEND
After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
RIGEL
CYC5 is a 1951 23′9″ fractional sloop Corinthian One Design. Built in Holland a one of an 8 vessel fleet raced on the Delaware River post WWII.
Natasha Darling!
I built this cedar strip version of a CLC Annapolis Wherry over an 18 month period & about 1500 hours. Rather than buying the recommended “drop-in” rowing rigs I constructed my own assemblies in both the single & double configurations. The boat is a sweet & composed row!
MERLIN
After reading Geoff Kerr’s article about the W17 folding/trailerable trimaran in WoodenBoat Magazine #254 I was immediately interested and went to see and sail one.
CHRISTINE ROSARIA
Mid March is still cold in upstate New York, but after a long lock down winter I was really eager to launch my first non-kit boat, a 11.5 ft Glen-L designed power/row skiff.
LOTTE
LOTTE was built in 1928 by Lake Union Drydock in Seattle. She was moved to Vermont in 2008 and has undergone substantial renovation including cold molding the hull from waterline to keel and is now repowered with a BMW marine diesel.
