I Built It Myself — Wooden Boats I have Built
Sponsored and produced by WoodenBoat magazine
WoodenBoat magazine’s Launchings Online
The Launchings . . . and Relaunchings department of WoodenBoat magazine has long been one of the most popular features. For years now, we have gotten many more submissions than we have room for in the magazine. We are excited that so many of you are building boats, and know how excited you are about your own projects. We have decided to publish these submissions, so they can be shared with all of you. New boats will be entered regularly, so keep checking back to see what is new in the world of Launchings. . . and Relaunchings.
