The Rise of Phoenix - Part 1
We met Steve Bosquette and went for a ride in his Sneakeasy "Katie" several years ago. Since then, he sold her, bought her back and is rebuilding her into a whole new boat. |

The Clasp Knife Rudder - One Man's Solution
I think it's good for boat builders to consider different ways of building things like rudders. Owen Sinclair saw something in this boat that he thought worth sharing with us. |

A Short Cruise in a Philsboat
It's not often that we get to hear the story of a small boat cruise from the perspective of a female first mate - Caroline Wallis does a super job with this one. |

Chicagoland
Midsummer Messabout
Up in the Chicago area, they were late getting into the swing

gives his account. |

I have known Phil Lea since 2001 and he has always sailed a
nice Junebug that he built. This year he decided he wanted something
a little bigger. |

Schoml
What better way to start off the new year than with a set of
free plans for a neat little rowing/sailing dink? Reinier Scheele
was kind enough to share his with us. |
