Aaron Turner led a group of students and volunteers at Workshop Residence in San Francisco, California, in the construction of a Coquina cat-ketch.

Willow, a 25 ft strip planked sloop, is the third sailboat designed and built by Matt Greytak, after a 15 ft sloop and a 14 ft catamaran.  It is constructed with ½″ x 1 ½″ cedar strips sheathed in epoxy over plywood bulkheads.  The deck is plywood sheathed in epoxy with Interdeck non-skid paint. 

Rowboat #17 was developed over the course of 5 years. I had built 16 models to evaluate performance and ease of building. The main purpose was for pleasure rowing with my dogs Rowdy & Nala.

After hours of searching through plans for a boat to build I figured the next best thing was to design my own. So working off the types of boats I liked I came up with C LEGS.Built from 6 mm ply glassed over she is strong and light.

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

A CLC Northeaster Dory. As a kit boat, there are many like it, but the build of this one is special. It was built almost completely during my toddler’s naps over the course of 18 months. And I built it almost completely solo.

“Talisa” is a Creek Indian word meaning “beautiful waters”. Designed specifically for shallow protected waterways, Talisa has been perfect for exploring the waters and backwaters of the St John’s River and springs of Central Florida.

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!!!

This original Herreshoff 12 1/2 was one of the last to come off the line of Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Rhode Island.  WASP was purchased by Nick Voulgaris III in 2004 and he actively sailed her for close to twenty years.
