Decked double-paddle canoe. Plywood hull with pine strip decking and mahogany trim.

I started building this Glen-L Key Largo Barrelback in 1998. Finally completed after 14 years and launched in Lake Tahoe CA!

A Classic Gulf Stream fishing boat designed to be lightweight, and to take a following sea better than it’s Dory predecessors. The hull lines were from plans*, with some modifications to the interior. A laminated tow-rail and, fold-down seating in the cockpit among them.

“Sea Shadow,” Canada’s first St. Ayles skiff, was launched on June 1st. Twelve friends from the Bay of Quinte region in eastern Ontario started the project at the beginning of January. Most of the group knew their way around a woodworking shop and a few had prior boat building experience.

Restored beetle cat type boat, new north sails, great shallow water boat, perfect for Florida waters.

Nutshell pram built as tender to friendship sloop “Ruth L”.  Launched May 30,2013 at Greenlaw Cove, Deer Isle, Maine.

Everyone seems to love this little boat. Building one of Iain Oughtred’s designs has been a real pleasure — his plans are superb and to my eye at least are a work of art on their own. She performs really well, just out paddling, fishing or taking on some easy rivers.

AMI JOY is a Jupiter Point design by Nick Schade of Guillemot Kayaks of Connecticut. I modified the 13′-design to include a little spruce brightwork trim and built AMI JOY over the winter and launched her on Memorial Day, May 27, 2013, on the Long Island Sound in Stamford.
