Lil Miss Canada is a 12′ 1954 cold moulded plywood Wagemaker Wolverine. Hull number M679 with the original 1954 Johnson 25HP RD - 15 still running well.

Great boat for the low water Inland tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. My wife sewed the sail from Sailrite. I was lucky to have a neighbor who had a lathe to turn the 13ft mast.

Bill Farquhar had great fun building this pram for his daughters, Lauren and Katie. When she was launched in June 2003, they used juice boxes instead of champagne to christen her. She is an Eastport Pram with a length just under 8' and a beam of 4'.

The Salt Bay Skiff was the grand prize winner of the Family Boatbuilding Design Contest held by WoodenBoat in 2007. Carl Sylvester built KALOS from "Getting Started in Wooden Boats,"  the supplement in issues 199 and 200, over the course of ten months.

"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."

Wendy Norwitz took just four months to built this stitch-and-glue Shearwater Sport kayak created by Chesapeake Light Craft.

John T. Brunson writes that, at 70, he has refinished his Alcort Super Sailfish with all new bronze hardware and the original decals.

Mark McGinley built this Iain Oughtred design 7 1/2′ Auk “ELSIE KAY” from Okoume plywood as well as locally cut Quarter sawn oak, ash, and pine. She is the tender for his Pacific Seacraft PS-25 located in the Apostle Islands area of lake Superior.
