A current thread by Gortik Which boats did you build? (http://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80013) and a comment by Thorne in another thread that we all have boats that we've been "not building for 2 years" prompted this question: Which boats are you "not building". While I'm doing the resto work on Fiddlers Green, I'm currently not building 4 boats, How about you?

There is the most beautiful little example of that Benford boat tied to the dock at Friday Harbor, Wa. Every time im out on the San Juans, I lust after her just a little....

I'm not building Eun Mara in a very serious way. ;) I've got the plans, I've got the molds and laminated stems. I've got the lead and enough plywood (3/8th" sapele) to plank her. But we skipped over her to a larger traditional carvel planked boat so now I work on that (and sail it;)) and the Eun mara project is on hold. Maybe if work is slow again next winter I'll build the hull and try to sell it as a project to be finished by the buyer.

For a couple years now I've been very seriously not building either Ken Hankinson's Goliath 18 tug

or a Paul Fisher cutter:

I'm not building the next size up of the kids dinghies like I should be. I really should be, they're getting too big.

I am currently not building my Herreshoff 12.5 hull #1498, because I am getting my little skiff ready for the season, and I have to build a kitchen table and a backyard fence before I can get permission from the Admiralty.

I'm not building any one of several double-ended sail and or boats. Can't decide whether I shouldn't build the Chamberlain gunning dory -

Or not build Oughtred's Ness Yawl -

I am currently not building Sedge (http://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76400&) but if I can get enough side work and stay afloat while unemployed, I've got the time now:rolleyes:

I am not building Atkin's 18 ft Gretchen (or her bigger sister, the 20 ft Helga), because I am too busy with the kids and the Elver canoe yawl.

Wow.. I wasn't aware of this Doug...
Do you remember that replica Monet Garden Bateau (http://boylesboats.com/blog/)that I built last year? Yeah that bright ass green one....
In my Monet Bateau plans and lines looked almost like that Sedge (http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Oar/Sedge.html)
