Launchings

Eric Bishop designed and built this rowing dinghy, THE MISS LINDA, from 3/8″ plywood on black oak frames, fastened with copper rivets. He launched her on March 7, 2012 in Morro Bay, California. You can reach Eric at javazone@tcsn.net 

Ron Rosene bought this boat in the summer of 2002 and restored it over the winter. EL RAY BARQUERO. is a 21' x 7' Skillcraft Day Cruiser made by Henry Boats in Plain City, Ohio in 1968. Zimmerman Boat Works in Columbus Ohio restored all the surfaces.

Randy Colker built this Harry Bryan-designed Wee Lassie for his wife, Shirley. She needed a boat light enough for her to move it to and from the water without assistance. As you can see here, she can move it easily, she can even lift it by herself.

Wyn Menafee of Palmer, Alaska, and Roger Burleigh of Anchorage, Alaska, each built a Penobscot 17 from Arch Davis Designs.

This boat is a John Harris design know as the Skerry and was built from a Chesapeake Light Craft kit. This was my first boat build and was accomplished in my spare time over about 10 months and a couple of weeks.

These are 10ft flat bottom skiffs built by 5th graders at the Dennis Haley Elementary School in Boston. Materials are: 3/8″ fir, marine ply bottom, white oak stem, frames, knees, rails and keelson, old growth eastern pine planking, silicone bronze fastened.

I started building this Glen-L Key Largo Barrelback in 1998. Finally completed after 14 years and launched in Lake Tahoe CA!

Built with both tandem and solo mode.

Coot is a Paul Gartside designed 16′ open water rowing skiff (design #115). She is planked in strip plank western red cedar, glass cloth and WEST system epoxy.
