Launchings

This is a 3/4 size Dipper designed by Sam Devlin. Just built for fun as a little show boat. I Enjoy cruising up and down the AuGres River in AuGres, MI. People actually come out of their houses to take video as I cruise by.

Stu Fyfe of Brewster, Massachusetts, launchged this 54" Beach Pea Baby Cradle just about the time of the launch of his grandson, Owen James Fyfe.

After purchasing the plans in 2007, I didn't start building until 2012 when life, work, and materials lined up.

Dylan Wallace uses this board everyday on the beaches of Nantucket. Since building this one, he and his father have finished 5 more. The board is made out of butternut wood covered with epoxy. It took 100 hours to complete. It is a David Tettledon design, with a length of 9'6".

Gleaming, screaming, and dreaming! That's JULIA ROSE in a nutshell. With her 500 C! Big Block Chevy engine, Roy Peake's runabout has gone as fast as 75 mph. Her perfectly glistening topsides will turn heads, and inspire a few dreams, everywhere she goes.

I built this boat in 1985 for my mother, and this past year did extensive rebuilding of bottom, transom, and converted it to a sprit rigged sailing skiff with a daggerboard. It sails well!

JEZEBEL is a Grand Banks 32 owned by Greg Walsh of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. When she needed a tender Greg decided to build a Shellback skiff from a kit sold by the WoodenBoat Store.

This 12 foot Wood Duck from Chesapeake Light Craft is a stich and glue design Kayak made from Okoume and Sapele marine plywood. My wife and I started in January 2014 and finished in July 2014.

Chris Bell lives on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, where he enjoys sailing in MINNIE THE MOOCHER, a 14′11″ canoe yawl. MINNIE is a Lillie design by Paul Fisher that is similar to his Ethel canoe yawl design and to boats that Lord Robert Baden-Powell built for the Boy Scouts.

This Kaholo stand-up paddleboard and Bolger Pointy skiff are just two of the boats that Jed Lavoie has built.
