Echo progress...

Echo now has some shape and the first coat of epoxy...a skim coat of thickened epoxy will follow.

One twin...done

Backboards...the red twin

While it seems that most folks on Cruising Anarchy don't care for this break from traditional mounting...I'm really warming up to it.

It'll likely go on the scrap heap of sailing ideas with other bad innovations like fin keels, spade rudders, diesel engines and aluminum spars ;)

Naaahhhh, I'm going to keep exploring it on the odd hull. Although the choice is entirely up to the client. These twins are going to a couple pretty open minded clients..

The Crabber projuct

This was my first hull ever...a wonderful Cornish Crabber 22. I did it for a good friend in the UK and had to wait until he received it before I posted here.

The real thing....it was far too pretty to pass up.

The hull under construction...complex hull. Lots going on.

The final product...and thanks to Bob Perry for A LOT of advice on my first hull.

(p.s. the sprit is on the proper angle)

Backboards...a break with tradition

I really wanted my backboards to show off the boat while not always resorting to a traditional rectangle.


This is the Sliver Red backboard at the plywood stage, and I'm trying to get my head around it, but I think it will look great when the finish work is done.

Oh ya...here is the real thing under construction near Seattle.

The Twins are born...

There is still the matter of backboards...but I'm happy with the results. Now as long as the client agrees it'll be my best effort(s) to date.

...and this is my newly invented DWL scribing device. Only 3 easy payments of $39 and you can own one too!!

Other modern and spacious facilities...

This is the warm area...funny it doesn't look that cluttered in person.

Shop supplies and sail storage.

My cold workshop...mess thanks to pissed off squirrel with whom I share this space.
