Blending John Gardner’s second version of the L. F. Herreshoff 17′ pulling boat with John Brooks’ glued-lapstrake construction, Tony Lush started building in November of 2021 in the “Greenhouse Boatyard.”
Jaakko Toiviainen found in fall 2021 a neglegted Haven 12,5 bare hull in the corner of the boat hall where he kept his sailing yacht. It appeared that the hull had been built by a professional boatbuilder some twenty years ago, but for some reason never completed.
47’ Carvel planked in iroko with oak frames. Beam 13’, draft 6’9/7’. Schooner rigged. In the water and fully operational.
"Minnow" is a 1956 mahogany classic, winner of Best in Show, ready to go. 1956 40-hp electric start Mercury. The boat was made by Elgin and sold through Sears. Registered in Vermont, includes original TeeNee trailer. Runs great!
This Chris Craft was owned by a Lake George family from 1956 until 2007. For 51 years it was stored out of the water in an enclosed boathouse, lightly used and never left outdoors.
After a two year journey, My wife (Nathalie), Two sons (August and Graham) and I have completed building our Eastport Pram. We selected this boat due to its easy car-top transport, versatility and beauty. This is our first foray into wooden boat building, and hopefully not our last.
I was gifted tuition to the WoodenBoat School for my 40th birthday and convinced my best buddy Seth to join me in John Karbott's Intro to Boatbuilding class (you can see this boat being built on the listing for the class).
The build was started in 2009 by Dr. David Likely of Dorn Ridge N.B. After his passing in late 2012, the task of completing the build was taken on by Dale Murray and Ann Fillmore. Work has been ongoing since the fall of 2013.
