Finishing
Another Man's Dream
I saw the ad on Craig’s List. “23 ft Aquarius Sailboat
$1,000”. It seemed cheap enough, even in the crashed used
boat market of 2010. I bought it.
Corsica
15 R
Here's a new boat I just developed for fast solo sailing. The Corsica
15 R is a light, demountable design for performance
day sailing that has been created for homebuilders.
A
Real Blow on Big Water
Bob says that he is a lake sailor, and not a particularly adventurous
one at that. This time adventure found him.
Under
the Roller-Door
... I found myself sitting under the roller-door of my main
shed, cup of black coffee in hand, watching the rain pour down
onto our small country property. At that time I reflected on
my boatbuilding odyssey.
Ultra-Pram
The ULTRA-PRAM was conceived by Roland Moose of North Carolina.
He wanted a portable yet robust boat for daily fishing trips

Done!

Least Boat: Part Three
After the last two articles, I've decided to look at deadrise

Building

After damaging and losing my sailboat in the tumultuous 2009
Texas 200, I returned home and began searching for a replacement
boat. I selected Graham's newest cat ketch design, the Lapwing
16.
Building
the B&B Lapwing 16 - Part Two
The next step was to shape and install the external keel and
stem. The shape of the stem required laminating strips. Here's
how I did it.
Choosing
the Right Boat
Having had over a year to think things out since the last build,
a motor cruiser seemed to be a better option as I cannot see
my wife hauling up sails. The big question is which one?
Chicagoland
Pathfinder
After about three years of part-time work, seemingly endless
winters and more than a few interruptions, I finally launched
my Pathfinder. Here it is!
