After hours of searching through plans for a boat to build I figured the next best thing was to design my own. So working off the types of boats I liked I came up with C LEGS.
Built from 6 mm ply glassed over she is strong and light. I wanted max water line length for the space I had in my garage so set the out board back into a well.
RICHARD & ARNOLD is one of the oldest remaining Eastern-rig draggers still fishing—and one of the last still in existence outside a museum. She’s also one of the last of the family-owned-and-operated fishing boats that once dominated the New England fisheries during much of the 20th century. In the January/February issue, we tell this boat’s story—and tell of the economic and ecological challenges of the New England fisheries.
This lucky Scottish fishing boat was saved from the chainsaw by an owner from the Pacific Northwest, delivered to her new home via Cape Horn, and converted into an elegant long-range motor yacht.
