Huntington Harbor
I built Huntington Harbor from free plans from Spira International. It was lots of fun and paddles great, looking forward to the next build.

I found I was in need of a dinghy that needed little maintenance, so I shopped around and found that everything available was either sprayed fiberglass or press formed plastic. The cheap plastic and over priced fiberglass models just weren’t my cup of tea so I decided to design one myself.
This was my first boat project and it took me 4 months to finish it. I used two types of wood: Abachi and iroko. I’ve cut 6mm thick strips and no cove & bead, every strip was beveled manually to match each other.
Peter Baldracchi recently built this 14′ dory skiff in a class at Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts. There’s a storage compartment under the sternsheets and room for gear and a couple of friends. The light grey interior, varnished seats, and dark hull make for a handsome boat.
This boat was designed and built by Robert Wallace between October 2001 and May 2002. He launched her in May on White Oak Pond in northeastern Pennsylvania. The skiff has a 10' LOA and maximum beam of 39". She is a semi-V hull.
Jim Earl modified Edwin Monk's plans for this Curlew sloop by giving it a gaff rig, instead of Marconi, and carvel planking, instead of lapstrake. He found the design in Monk's book "How to Build Wooden Boats, (Dover Pub, 1992).
Warren Price spent six months building a Nutshell Pram. He wants this Joel White–design as a tender for him 18′ Lyman Islander which was named THE QUEEN when he bought her. Naturally, the pram will be THE LADY IN WAITING. Warren launched her in June 2011 on the Cross River in Boothbay. Maine.
This molded mahogany plywood boat's hull was made in Canada in 1942. It was sent to the states and the sternboard was installed by the Magnavox Corporation. My father acquired it in 1963 for $60.
Joe Walsh of RI has been working on a writen history of a passing tridition. The Quahog skiff was a staple of the waterfront in Rhode Island for many years. Of late they are hard to find.
