This would make a big outboard.

Chuck:
I have decided to make plans for POD free to those who wish to download it. This will accomplish two things; get the plans in the hands of kids so they can at least learn how to make a small boat; and it will also help promote the assembly method (tape & glue), which is easy and functional in boat this size.

Here is an article about making Tyvek sails... |

Here is Photo album covering the construction of Brad Davis' stripper kayak. |

... and here is an article about Aluminum foil as an emergency radar reflector. |

I've finally had a little time to work on my Summer Breeze build I
started last Xmas... is this a record for the slowest 'simple'
build? :-) Here is a link to the photo album.

... I am
trying my hand at a version of a microcruiser that is suited to
a guy who has already built a boat or two. Here is a video of a microcruiser based on a Bolger Brick.... |
 |
... and a video of my Mark One version of my own DockBox/Microcruiser. Mine would cost twice as much to build and take three times longer,
but both time and money required would still be rather small.

Hi and greetings from Finland!
Lakes have ice cover for few months from now on so it is time to build a boat. It will be a PDRacer. I created a website www.purjejolla.com where I will document the boat building project from the building decicion to a maiden voyage that take place in next summer.

Chuck, your readers might be interested to know that Robb White's "The Lion's Paw" has been re-released in a hardback version with the original art on the sleeve. As a practicing 50+ year old kid (or as we call them, duck-builders), I can highly recommend it to all other kids, of any age.

Hello Chuck,
I am writing in regards to your links page on your duckworks webpage. I am starting up a new business called Boat Building Vacation. It is a 9 day boat building experience at a lake side cottage in Maine... |
 |
... It is an opportunity for participants to build a wooden kayak, rowing shell, dory or other preferred small wooden boat model in a relaxed 9 day camp experience on a peaceful lake in central Maine.

Err... I'd guess people who bravely sail big distances in tiny boats, and those who do it when young! I'm thinking of this young fella, for example.

Ever see this? I sure haven't. I wrote to ask if/where it's for sale in the US.

Hi All,
I came across another great diary entry, written by Vincent Gilpin's
mother, which reports cruising in the 1890's on Florida's east coast in
a sharpie. Mrs. Gilpin's observations are strangely familiar in some
ways (cold, rain, bad weather, near death experiences) and entirely
unfamiliar in others (few people, no engines, Seminole Indians going
about their lives, few government sponsored navigational aids, oh, and
all those near death experiences!) . What else could an open boat
cruising captain could ask for?
You have to admire these people for cruising under those conditions.
Come to think of it, you have to admire the open boat cruising
experienced by all the WCTSS trips. Much the same thing in the end,
just easier to get supplies and get to the general destination.
Best Regards,
Joe |

I found these guys with an interesting business model:
They sell you a fiberglass lower hull, and a kit to finish the deck off yourself. Woodstrip or plywood.
