Launchings

This boat was built from plans purchased from the museum at Mystic Conneticut. I named it JOYCE. The build took a couple of years. It is powered by a 1919 2 1/2 hp Kingfisher engine built in Toronto, Ontario.

This 12′, sprit-rigged catboat was laid out by Sam Devlin as his MudPeep design. We built her using the stitch and glue method.

After he moved toBangladesh with his wife and infant son, Henry Richards of Belmont, Massachusetts, had some free time on his hands. He began perusing WoodenBoat in hopes of finding a boat that was fast and on the easier side to build.

Lucas Pharmer, son of Andrew Pharmer, is seen here standing beside LOUIE DA' BOY, a 15'8" x 33" Iain Oughtred McGregor Canoe. Andrew and Lucas built the boat according to the methods described in Ultralight Boatbuilding by Thomas J.

First F1830 in the water.

Amanda Rogers and her father, Jim, built this rowboat at a three-day Family Boatbuilding Workshop sponsored by the Inland Seas Education Center in Suttons Bay, MI. They used marine plywood and treated yellow pine for construction.

Ralph Cioppa made use of what he had on hand in the construction of this Nimrod 12 skin-on-frame canoe. After bending the ash frames in his hot tub, he shaped them, then left them to form in a metal trash can.

This is my 18′ Carolina dory. Materials are from local lumber yards except for the bronze screws. This was a fun project, the plans from Spira International were easy to read and the boat gets plenty of compliments.

Emili Castillo of Barcelona, Spain, recently launched this Penobscot 14 on the Fluvia River near his home. He named the boat SIBERIANA in honor of his son, who was born in Siberia, Russia, and his wife and daughter, who are both named Anna.

Built as a tender for our Daysailer. The Pram will help us get out to the mooring and back. This is not my first build, but is a great first boat for anyone who wants to give building a try.
