CREEKY
Year Built:
1940
Built in 1940 by Hibberd Boat Works in Mantoloking, New Jersey of native white cedar (with a mahogany transom) and fastened with copper ring shank nails & rivets. At 11′ x 4.5′ CREEKY is indeed the smallest project in our portfolio...
SABROSURA
Builder Name:
Pascal Gademer
After a couple of years owning and extensively sailing our 12′ Westphal catboat on Biscayne Bay, we decided we needed a larger day sailor. Unfortunately, the classic day sailor market is pretty limited in South Florida and as we couldn’t find anything we liked, the answer obvious: build one.
MELISSA
Builder Name:
Tim O'Shea
I’ve been building this auk for the last five years in my garage. The idea was that I would learn how to build a boat with this one and then move onto something a little larger, but I am not too sure how my wife will take to the news that I’m starting another one.
Yankee Tender
Builder Name:
Paul Marshall
Paul Marshall of Granite Falls, Washington, was very proud on September 1, 2013, when he launched his Yankee Tender after 30 years of (as he says) working on it in "fits and starts." She is the 12′6″ × 4′6″ design from WoodenBoat based on an Asa Thompson skiff design.
Gypsy
Designer
Woods Designs
The GYPSY 28 was the Woods Designs’ own cruising boat for five very successful years. It was designed as an easy-to-build budget ocean cruiser and many are now sailing in all corners of the world.
