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.

Jack Shenker lives between two lakes in New Jersey, so he needed to build two boats. He started by building LITTLE JOANIE, a Shellback dinghy for fishing on one of the lakes.

In the summer of 2008, David M Jones of Suwanee Georgia was given a 1957 Speedicraft designed by Otis Borum of Jacksonville Florida.  The Honey Bee’s deck, transom and 25 percent of her hull were rotten.  Dave approached his Father, Morris A.

I recently sent this letter to Jeff Spira or www.spirainternational.com to express my appreciation for providing plans on his 20ft Carolina Hatters V Hull dory that my father and I spent the last 9 months building...the boat is built better than mos

Dave Paquet constructed this 23'6" x 7' fantail launch using yellow cedar strip planking on the hull, and red cedar strips for the decks. This Glen-L 'Harbor master' design took Dave four winters to complete. He launched PILGRIM in May 2004.

On Monday, 8 August 2016, my Redmond Whisp rowing skiff TICKLE BEE became for the first time a sailing skiff.

With a design by Sam Devlin, owner Dan Taylor built this stitch and glue cruiser out of Okumo plywood. The cabin is finished with Doug fir and Alaskan yellow cedar. It took just over two years to complete with help from family and friends.
