During the spring of 2013, Dee Teren built this Whisp, designed by Steve Redmond. She launched it in July in Lake Coeur D’Alene, Idaho.

Bill Burgess built NELL to sail on Hoods Pond in Topsfield, Massachusetts and the waters of Kittery Point, Maine. Launched in September 2000, she is strip-built with 1/4" northern white cedar cove and bead strips, and covered with fiberglassed epoxy.
