Register of Wooden Boats
The Register of Wooden Boats lists information about wooden boats 10′ LOA (length overall) and above. It came into being after, and because, the annual Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts and the subsequent short-lived North American Yacht Register ceased publication. To submit your boat for inclusion in the Register of Wooden Boats, follow the instructions on this page. All submissions are subject to editing and approval.

BESS KAY
This is a reproduction of a Popular Science Magazine design from 1954 that they had called Anyone’s Boat, because they said anyone can build it in 16 hours and for about $12. I added a bit, spending over 300 hours and money into the thousands, to bring this to fruition. So glad I did!
