Don Lewis took 16 months to build his first boat, PILGRIM, a Karl Stambaugh design called Redwing 18. It is an 18'6" cuddy cabin boat. Mr. Stambaugh's advice was invaluable and Kitzman's Lumber of Dixon, Il went out of their way to deliver special orders.
THE EMERALD is a Six-Hour canoe built by Roger Kofler of Jennings Lodge, Oregon. Roger followed plans in WoodenBoat No.
Tom Karsnia designed and built the EDNA BELLE during the summer of 2004. He writes that the boat floats and rides like a dream. It seems as light as a feather in the water. It is easy to maneuver and turns on a dime. It is made of 3/8" marine plywood and western red cedar coated with epoxy.
Cedric Brannen built this skiff for Rob McCauley over the winter of 2002-2003, using the same molds he used to build two skiffs for Rob's father 30 years ago.

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.
