This section of our web site, an extension of the Launchings department of WoodenBoat magazine, is dedicated to sharing news of recently launched wooden boats built or restored by our readers. If you’ve launched a boat within the past year, please email us at launchings@woodenboat.com, or post your news here. (All posts are subject to approval and editing before being made live.)
To refine your search, add quote marks. If you search Wood Duck, you will get all the listings which include Wood and Duck. To refine, search “Wood Duck” and you’ll see just Wood Duck results.

Carol Knickman took an off-site WoodenBoat class in the fall of 2012.
Builders are David Reid, Seamus Whoriskey and Louis Bistrong in a class taught by Jeff Lane assisted by Fritz Fuller at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum in Essex, Massachusetts. The Bevin's Skiff was built in three and a half days and is a great boat for the Essex River.

Bob Chaput and Dick Dowdell built this Peeler Skiff from a John Harris-designed Chesapeake Light Craft kit. She will carry children and grand children fishing and digging clams in the salt waters of Southern New England.
The Salt Bay Skiff was the grand prize winner of the Family Boatbuilding Design Contest held by WoodenBoat in 2007. Carl Sylvester built KALOS from "Getting Started in Wooden Boats," the supplement in issues 199 and 200, over the course of ten months.
Launched 11/6/2016, Lake Cochituate, Framingham, MA, CLC Wood Duck 12 Hybrid. Kept me sane through chemo and radiation.
