 Posted on October 1st,2011 Posted on February 23rd,2011It has been far too long (we do I always find myself starting this way? SIGH) since we here at Chine bLog highlighted the great posts others have offered the world regarding wooden / traditional boats. Yes,believe it or not,Chine bLog is NOT the only source. Really.

They have licensed the patterns to Hewes &Company of Maine in North America. I am guessing that this a quality kits,though they are for experienced builders (no materials provided other than the cut lumber). Even so,this [...] Posted on December 15th,2009We realized that we have been running this blog for over four years now. This is the second iteration of it,as of last Winter,so our analytics are incomplete. It is the case for the last several months,however,–and we promise that it has basically always been the case –that one [...] Category:Boatbuilding,Small Sail Craft | Tags:camp cruiser,day sailer,wayfarer dinghy | 10 comments | Trackback this Post Posted on March 8th,2009Call it a two-fer. I have been doing the Apprentice for a Day program at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. I thought my Dad would enjoy it as well,I gave him a day of it for Christmas. Of course I had to join him. So he got to check it out,I scratched my [...] Posted on October 6th,2008I have mentioned the presence of one of Iain Oughtred’s Caledonia Yawls at the festival.

I got in two visits and availed myself of a row and a sail. Both were great. It had been a long time –a frighteningly [...] Posted on June 21st,2008I was in Seattle for business last week,which allowed me to make a pilgrimage to the Center for Wooden Boats,a place so cool I cannot contain it to a single post,nor even two. In fact,friends,a roughly two-and-a half-hour visit gave me four interesting posts to lay out for you. [...] Posted on May 3rd,2008I read an article last night that prompted me to reflect on how I rate the value of a magazine article. One could imagine a star system,like those for restaurant,movie,or record reviews. Zero stars means that,at best,the article gave me nothing –no entertainment,no new knowledge,no nuggets [...] | ||
