I built this CLC Kaholo paddleboard recently.

SOAR, launched November 2023.  8′ tender, glued lap construction, butternut thwart, western red cedar floor boards, cast bronze knees. 

Nutshell pram built as tender to friendship sloop “Ruth L”.  Launched May 30,2013 at Greenlaw Cove, Deer Isle, Maine.

John Noon built this 30′6″ Crocker Gull with Joe Taylor at the shop of Gordon (Swifty) Swift in Kensington NH for Carrie Hollingsworth of York ME. Swifty, a legendary boat builder was present for much of the construction but unfortunately passed away in February 2014.

Dan Cassidy was a member of Bob Elliott's WoodenBoat School summer of 2000 class, "Building the Salisbury Point Skiff." Dan was lucky enough to win the boat in the class drawing and hauled it to Cushing, Maine where Ed Mezzapelle finished her between April and August 2001.

Joey Cyr, age 16, spent the winter of 2005 building this Phil Bolger-designed Gypsy daysailer in his family's garage. With simple tack-and-tape construction, Joey found the boat well within his capabilities, and now enjoys sailing her off Point Judith, Rhode Island.

Steven Toedter used no plans to build this skiff for his 8-year-old daughter, Caitlin. Her instructions were to build it "strong." Constructed of Philippine mahogany plywood on clear Douglas fir frames, the boat is 7' LOA with a 3' beam.

James McFadden, age 4, has a wonderful pilot in his 11-year-old brother Dominic, on this Chesapeake Light Craft 14′ Wood Duck Double Kayak. Dominic built it with a little help from his grandfather, Ned Farinholt. Dominic and James live near the Shenandoah River in Front Royal, Virginia.

CAPITAL GAINES is a glass over plywood boat constructed with sapele frames, meranti marine plywood, with sapele and cypress accents. It’s powered with a Yamaha 70hp outboard motor.

The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, located in Port Hadlock, Washington, launched this Nordlund skiff in December last year. Built by instructor Ben Kahn’s 2013 Basic Boatbuilding Class, it is 11′ long, and weighs just over 100 pounds.
