Launchings

I built the M-Yak 500 in summer 2020.
It is sleek and fast sit-on-top kayak for one or two paddlers that can easily built in stitch-and-glue.

Rick Granger built this Chesapeake Light Craft Wood Duck 10 over six weeks in the winter of 2010-2011.  The 10' hull weighs just 34 pounds and is made from 3mm okoume plywood, with a deck of western red and white cedar strips.

Tom Peretti spent a year building this 12′ Sassafras Canoe from a kit created by Chesapeake Light Craft. He trimmed the stitch-and-glue plywood boat with mahogany rails and thwarts.

Niam Rogers built this Chesapeake Light Craft kit with help from his grandfather, Dave Racicot. Niam created the patterns using strips of Western Red Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Walnut. Niam will use the boat on protected waters in and around Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Early September saw the launching of cedar strip planked Stand-Up-Paddleboard, designed and built by Andrew J. Malcomb of Dwarka Boatworks in Central Mass.

She needed to be nesting to be taken out of the basement where she was built.

Mid March is still cold in upstate New York, but after a long lock down winter I was really eager to launch my first non-kit boat, a 11.5 ft Glen-L designed power/row skiff.

Steve Lansdowne took several courses at WB school in the summers of 2000 and 2001.

Kenny Cooper built his Glen-L 14 daysailer with oak frames and marine plywood sheathed by 6oz fiberglass cloth and epoxy. He used red gum that had been salvaged by his father for the brighwork, while the sails and rigging were salvaged from a Capri 14.2.
