 Posted on January 22nd, 2010I have so engaged in designing and building that I haven’t been on the computer as much in the PMs. I have clearly been missing out on what some of our traditional boat peeps have been putting up. In case you missed it directly, here is some stuff to check out: Indigenous Boats Category: 2. Designs & Designers, 3. Boatbuilding, 4. Boating, 5. Boat Media |

 Leave a comment |  Trackback this Post Posted on May 19th, 2009Those who fly-fish (I don’t) and want to do it like the classy folk of the American West should check out this nice piece from Vida, Oregon about the McKenzie River Wooden Boat Festival. The piece quotes “class” expert Roger Fletcher, who I wrote about a couple years back: The combination of beauty and usability [...] Category: 2. Designs & Designers, 4. Boating |

One comment | Trackback this Post 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 28th, 2008I got out to Cuttyhunk Island for Memorial Day to open the house there. No boats to play with, but I did get a chance to snap a few pics. Enjoy! Category: 2.

Leave a comment | Trackback this Post Posted on April 25th, 2008Nice article in the Newburyport (MA) Daily News on Lowell’s Boat Shop, which turns 215 – that would be two hundred and fifteen years old – on May 5. Not impressed yet? Chew on this: This makes it the oldest continuously operating boat shop in the U S of A. Not [...] Category: 2. Designs & Designers, 3. Boatbuilding |

Leave a comment | Trackback this Post Posted on December 28th, 2007There is logic to this, but I won’t get into it. Suffice it to say that I had recently been thinking about the wooden dories and river boats indigenous to the American West. I don’t know much about these boats and have never been in one, so I don’t think about them much [...] Category: 2. Designs & Designers, 5. Boat Media |

Leave a comment | Trackback this Post Posted on December 13th, 2007I ran across a new (to me) blog in our little circle: “The Wooden Dory – Dedicated To The Worlds Best Wooden Boat”. It is small and gets infrequent attention, but I hope that will improve. Time was when I would have backed the subtitle wholeheartedly, at least for small boats. [...] Category: 2.

Leave a comment | Trackback this Post Posted on December 10th, 2006Holiday time – its Christmas for us – means the annual pulling out of our set of Christmas tree ornaments, some of which go back many years. I never think about them during the year; it is always a surprise to open the boxes and find what is there. The other day this [...] Posted on October 15th, 2005I was 16 and she was a Gloucester Light Dory, which is just a gorgeous design. The lines are amazing and she was beautiful to row. I am particularly proud of the transom, which my dad helped me do with leftover mahogany and finish bright. Same with the breasthook. Of course I was [...] |
