The “CHELSEA” was purchased by me in 1985 at a marina in Somers Point, NJ after coming back from a trip to Jamaica and and being introduced to sailing on a Sunfish.

Tom Hardison spent 7-+ years building this 24' yawl, LITTLE WOODY. The hull is from a modified Glen-L plan. He added a bowsprit, keel, and made the hull thicker, using two layers of 1/4" laminated plywood. Everything other than the hull was of the builder's design.

CLC Kaholo 12-6 built from plans setup both for distance paddling and surfing. The tail-block is a combination of purple heart and ipe.

This little skiff was designed and built with the grandchildren in mind. A fun and safe little boat was the intention. Positive flotation was made with bulkheads installed fore and aft, accessible through deck hatches.

Launching Renetta, Rooster # 746, at the first annual Rooster Week, in 2014.

This is a Phil Bolger designed catboat. I bought Dynamite Payson’s book, “Build the instant Catboat”. It only took 14 years....with the help of my daughter. I had an old Beetle cat rig that I modified for the boat. Good to finally get it wet.

Here is a Jeff Spira designed Pescadero I recently completed. It’s a Carolina style dory style that's been customized for fishing the central west coast of Florida. The boat performs well and makes a great fishing platform.
