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.

Adam Birtwistle of Swan River in Perth, Australia, recently finished building a Melanesia Outrigger sailing canoe, designed by James Wharram. He spent a year on the contruction.

My adventure started on May 4th at CLC in Annapolis, MD. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. It’s amazing what was completed in a week. 12 weeks later.....The Christening took place on August 3th on the Manasquan River. Loved it!!!

Heritage is a Grand Banks style dory. She’s plywood on wood frame, built off the “Nova Scotian” plans from Spira International.

After 37 years as a superintendent and general superintendent at Howard S. Wright Construction, a Balfour Beatty company in Seattle, Washington, my retirement gift from my peers and the company was a complete Annapolis Wherry kit from Chesapeake Light Craft.

Raimo Repo of Ontario built JOY, a 13' Chamberlain dory skiff, from lines drawn by the late Mr. John Gardner. He bought the plans from the Mystic Seaport Museum after attending the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic in the late 1990s.

I started this boat by buying a load of rough cut northern white cedar from a small family run sawmill in Danville Vt.
