This is my first boat, a Penobscot 17 designed by Arch Davis. I built the boat with a bright finish cypress/teak deck, cypress faced sheerstrake, and white oak coaming, rub rail and flooring. A slight modification was made to the width and curve of the sheerstrake.

Fishing kayak design by Nick Schade combines speed and stability well suited for hot weather fishing. Thanks to the folks at Chesapeake Light Craft for their great kit.

Each year the Door County Maritime Museum, www.dcmm.org, hosts a class in wooden boat building. This year’s volunteer class instructors, David Morgan, Bob Schottmuller and Jerry McNamara, chose Newfound Woodworks’ Whitehall pulling boat.

CLC Kaholo 12-6 built from plans setup both for distance paddling and surfing. The tail-block is a combination of purple heart and ipe.

I was having difficulty getting out of my SOT kayak and needed a small skiff to row around the lake near my house. I wanted something I could put in the back of my S10 pickup, so I chose the Hannu 10 1/2 foot skiff.
