After 20 + years RYE 'N SKYE was finished and launched (receipt for the rough cut cedar was dated July 1999).

KNIPAN is the name of a black seabird with a dark green head, and of this 14′ boat built by Larserik Blixt, of Yxlan, Sweden. They launched her on May 7th amidst friends and family and warm spring sunshine.

John Stoudt restored this 1934, one-of-a-kind 50/800 Marblehead pond boat, that carries sail number 97. The 50 denotes the boats length in inches. The 800 denotes its sail area in square inches.

FOUR WHEELS is owned by four Wheelers - Peter, Anne, Katie, and Allison. It is a 1959 Lynman Outboard that had been sitting in a barn for 30 years before Peter rescued it. He took it completely apart, stripped everything, and was able to reuse all of the original pieces except the horn.
