Launchings

Fifteen-year-old Andrew Seguin built this Dynamite Payson designed work skiff between march and August 2002. It is Payson design number 606, 18' long with a 5' beam built out of plywood and mahogany.

"This Skerry is a beautiful boat. . . There is not an ugly line on this boat. The sheer is beautiful and accented by the lines of the chines. The chines add interest and eye candy to an already appealing boat."

Stonewall Boats of Westport Massachusetts has launched "Honey Bee". Stonewall's 4th hull and 3rd of the "Honey" design. Honey Bee was built for John McDonald of Vineyard Haven Massachusetts. McDonald is a long time lover and owner of wooden boats.

Relaunchings----This is a 10ft 5 inch catboat I built from a kit in 2000 from a boatbuilder that is no longer in business, (Upper Deck Boat shop). I had it in Mystic in 2000 for the WoodenBoat Show.

A four year project. Built stitch and glue using Meranti Marine Plywood. Powered by a Honda 90 Four Stroke.

New to both boating and boat construction, newly retired Ed Cataldo needed a project to keep him out of trouble. He saw Arch Davis' Penobscot 14 design while at the barbershop. Despite his lack of skill, he found Arch's instrctions.
