His father told him he'd starve to death building
wooden boats. That was over 50 years ago, and Henry Vokey
is still building.

If you want to see the Somalian
Pirates We video, and you are NOT on facebook, you can see the
original
on youtube. NSFW (audio from Southpark after all),

I thought you might be interested in watching this
YouTube
clip. BTW, this 'kayak' (commercial term for a new
type of small watercraft) is just 28.5" wide...

Hope all is well your end. Here's a link to a video
I made of Doolittle one sunny day. Feel free to post
it if you think your visitors would like it.

Ahoy Chuck
From a wet and windy marina here's a link to a new Stasha
video. It really shows the Stasha out in the real
world. Great fun. Comments always welcome.
Cheers Benjy |

Here is one that Andrew
Linn did with my pictures.

Thought you might enjoy the video put together
of the Burning of s/v Laguna
Cinco at the end of the 2010 TX 200.

Of course beyond the wallet of most duckworkers,
but a piece
of art most poeple wil like.

This
looks interesting, but pricey. I wonder if there's
a source for it which could be repackaged into units that would
work for rudders, leeboards, daggerboards and whatnot?

My new shop/shed is about finished. This little

We had a great eight day sail down in Carolina.
Had a fun time sailing alongside Paul and Dawn Stewart on their
Core Sound 20. I'm posting daily logs on the blog right now, about
halfway done at this point. You can find them at....

Last year I completed my Jim Michalak designed
Trilars, plans from Duckworks. I took my Trilars out yesterday
for a sail and took some video with a flip camera. It's hard to
take video that shows the boat while sailing, but in case anyone
is interested here's
a link. Or HERE.

This weekend I made a small mod to the mast partner
on my Ladybug to enable me to step the mast without having to
lift it up above the partner and drop it into place.
Photos
and more description are here.

Good article on recognizing people drowning. Stuff
I didn't know.

Some of you water nuts may already be up on this, but clearly
it's worth a gander.

I have a little postscript to the nice Duckworks
story about the Ella skiff - Norman Fuller in Norwich has built
the first Ella and brought it to an HBBR rally at Barton Turf.
You can see the little boat
here.
One or two people have suggested that I got the bottom of this
little boat just right, which I like to hear. Still, one day no
doubt someone will get it even more right... (Making it a vee
bottom doesn't count!)
But perhaps even better you can see it being rowed
here. I'm pretty pleased, as many of you will realise.

More likelihood of wind than anywhere else in Eastern
US in the Dog Days of summer. All boats
welcome (not just sailboats).

Check
out this website for do it yourself solar power projects.
quite cool. maybe something to pass the winter months on one of
these projects which have a lot of boat applications.

Didn't really help me in any day to day sense,
but awesome book! I picked it up since I
like to build boats out of wood. But it should be fun and interesting
to a lot of people. Did you know that trees only started evolving
after the Cambrian period? Horseshoe crabs are earlier on the
evolutionary tree than your local pine tree!
