Ahoy, I had a nice chat yesterday with Lynne Fabricant about Orca's sails. Nice to talk to someone who likes what they do. I mentioned that John had...
Ahoy, If my memory serves correct the only launch is across the river and down stream. I plan on rolling into the area on Thursday, and launching Friday. Are...
It is with a great deal of trepidation that I post this link to the ultimate boat towing vehicle. It's a diesel, so Terry will like it. It's a camper, so John...
Dirt I'm not sure when we will get there, but hoping for Friday afternoon. I could give you a tow, but you rowing might be faster. I think I am only going to...
Too bad that's the weekend of the NWSS meet. :o( It would have been fun to crash the show. <g> Somebody at the lake the other day mentioned that he'd heard...
I'm hoping to arrive early on friday, sure we can work out a car or boat shuttle. Going to bring my '56 Dillabaugh runabout if I can get motor and steering...
The other day we saw this beautiful Stambaugh Windward 15 on the lake: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jkohnen/sets/72157594216758536/ I gave the owner/builder,...
I have always liked that boat John. From the photos the mast looks like it has a lot of rake or is that the angle of the photo with the skipper sitting so far...
Maybe you've all read the links for the Fern Ridge Sailing Clubs, but I found this one interesting. Or at least Would be interesting If I Sailed Fern Ridge...
Brian, I'm packing now and plan to have the boat launched Friday morning (weather & waves permitting). If our (Joe Nelson and I) Tuna trip with Dockside...
Dan, We should get a couple more by Sunday. I am getting pretty excited about fishing for tuna! Sounds like they have been catching a few. I sure hope to get...
Dan & Joe, I have caught a lot of tuna. Once three of us went out and 6 miles from Depoe Bay we caught 75 fish in 1 hour, that was the closest I have ever hit...
Dan, So far, the ocean forecast for this weekend looks too rough for my little peapod. It's gonna have to settle down quicker than predicted before I'll want...
In MessaboutW-Photos-B I have created a photo album of boats built by Sam McKinney for and following his voyage across North America documented in the book...
Hi, I'm looking for a small wooden boat (15 feet or so)to use in a photo shoot on Vancouver Lake (Vancouver Wash.) in a very controled environment (the boat...
Hi, I'm new to the group and have joined at the suggestion of the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle. I'm looking for a small (15 foot or so) photogenic wooden...
I'm about to put oarlocks on my little "Scandal" and am wondering what distance to put them from the back edge of the rowing seat (Thwart ?) From personal...
Melissa, If you could share a bit about the theme, narrative, the point of the whole excercise... then we might know which of the boats might be the best...
Pat, Michalak says 11" IIRC. We aimed for that, and somehow ended up at 10.5" from the aft face of the rowing thwart to the centerline of the oarlock socket....
Man, I wish I had my Weekender squared away a little more. But you are looking in the right place. If you need a pretty boat, these guys'll have it. Andrew PS:...
Melissa, I wise woman once said, "Never listen to a word of Andrew's horse flooey. It will do you no good in the end". Was it his wife... I forget. Anyway, I...
Well boys what they really want is a cute little traditional lapstrake rowboat and someone flexable enough to lay down in the boat so it appears as a small...
ARRRRGH! Foiled yet again by youth and beauty. You'd think Dave would be used to it by now, but I can feel his dissapointment from here. 'S good, though, 'cuz...
Do you have access to the lake to launch the boat? The only paved ramp is at the Vancouver Lake Sailing Club. Other than that it is over the dirt ramp on the...
I'm looking for a row boat that's about 15 feet or less. We're shooting the quintessential lake (Vancouver Lake) and the quintessential boat (your boat!). the...
Andrew, Nothin' disappointing about it at all. I'm used to foiling folks with my youth and beauty! Been doin' it for 6 or 7 decades now, seems like ];*) I...
