"Happy Hour" - 9'(2.80m) Fishing Kayak

Designer
Alex Bogdanov

This design was inspired by Ross Lillistone’s “Water Rat”. The bow transom was replaced by a pointed stem. Also the internal volume and from there the displacement of the boat were increased by about 20%. Changes were made to the seating arrangement as well.

Winter Lecture: Exploring the Water Trail of Capt. John Smith

John Page Williams will discuss how Capt. John Smith and his crews covered some 3,000 miles over 30 months (April, 1607 – October, 1609), rowing and sailing the 30′ Discovery Barge. The map Capt. Smith published in Oxford, England, in 1612 was the first accurate guide to the Chesapeake and its tidal rivers. It opened up the bay to English settlers who colonized both Virginia and Maryland in the seventeenth century.

LONG WEEKEND

Designer
Alex Bogdanov

After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.

Breeze

Designer
Alex Bogdanov

“Breeze” is a 10′ (3m) double paddle canoe. Two sheets of plywood needed. Stitch and glue construction using 3″(75mm) fiberglass tape in epoxy for all seams inside and out. The deciding factors when designing the boat were mostly the same as with all my designs - seaworthiness and lightweight.

"Mouse Grande" - 7'6" (2.34m) two sheet rowboat

Designer
Alex Bogdanov

“Mouse Grande” is the last of the mouse family. As the name implies she is the biggest with most internal volume. Large cockpit with two small flotation chambers/storage compartments at both ends. Preference was given to stability. Anglers can stand up and cast.

Peeler Skiff

Designer
John C. Harris

Designed by John C. Harris, this light but sturdy fishing and utility skiff—a “crab skiff,” as they’re known on the Chesapeake Bay—has been dubbed the “Peeler” after the Chesapeake slang for a local delicacy, soft-shell crabs.

Pinocchio

Designer
Alex Bogdanov

“Pinocchio” was commissioned by my 7 year old son who wanted to learn paddling. He saw these kids paddling in small plastic kayaks which looked more like “bricks” or “barges” rather than boats.

The Adirondack Guideboat Today

by Ben Fuller

In 2022, Bernard W. Brock of Hague, on the west shore of Lake George, New York, took an interest in restoring a boat that had long been stored in his family’s barn. He knew that his great-great-grandfather, George Tupper, had brought the boat with him from the Adirondack Mountains when he moved to the shores of Lake George. That was in 1876, when Tupper was 30 years old, and he may have sensed opportunity in the lake’s tourist trade, where burgeoning hotels were much busier than the summer fishing and rusticating camps he had known in the mountains.

A Deep Canyon Connection

by Greg Hatten

At the rim of the Grand Canyon, the overlook of multicolored canyon walls and buttes is one of the most spectacular sights in North America and one of the seven natural wonders of the world. A full mile below the rim on the canyon floor, the Colorado River cuts a slender silver ribbon between the rust-colored cliff walls beneath a cobalt blue sky. Yet this wonder, which President Theodore Roosevelt praised as being “unparalleled throughout the wide world,” nearly became just another large freshwater reservoir in the American southwest.
