I was thinking of just a coot head, similar to the "conservative" design but a head only, facing the pointy end of the pennant. Perhaps the bill could be a...
Bill Dunaway sent me a few last photos from up north. "Back in Eugene, hiding i a secret location. This will probably be my last boat photos until I make...
That's a good idea, Frank. The "conservative" swimming coot takes up too much of the pennant's real estate (might work if it was smaller). The "feisty" coot...
Some people eat lunch even on workdays. ;o) Our lunch group is a mix of working and retired folks, but all grey haired (I'm the youngest!). ... it'll really be...
Good! I'll be the fat guy with a ponytail wearing suspenders, probably sitting by a window. Tuesdays and Fridays at McMennamin's North Bank. ... -- John...
I've been slow about getting some pictures posted. Steve's Mill Creek project spurred me into action! At http://www.proaxis.com/~boblark/boats.htm are a couple...
Oh yes John, I drew directly from the Ducks for inspiration! I find I don't dream in shades of Orange & Black, but in Greens & Yellows. <g> (If my wife...
What if one were to double all the diminsions for a little dink, or any small boat. I really like my Taod, and it is a real load hauler, and moves through the...
Pat, I've wondered about that off and on for years. Almost posted the same question on the woodenboat forum once and then was glad I didn't because I've since...
I'm never afraid to ask dumb questions. Ignorance is not a sin. Stupidity might be. Those questions we think about, but are afraid to ask. There's a Lot of...
The El Toro is a common boat on this coast, but uses "old fashioned" sticks and ply construction, with bevels and all. I'm an old fashioned kinda guy, but for...
Jacques Mertens' outfit gets $175 per D4 sail, which is reasonable enough, I suppose. I'm sure he marks them up a bit (he's in business after all) and might be...
Pat- Your 16' Elegant Gigundapunt would be about 7' wide! That's a lot of boat, it'd carry a LOT and be incredibly stable. But do you really need _that_ much...
An example fo a design stretched 50% in every dimension is Pat Delsma's Bolger Mippet on Steroids (looks just like a regular Mippet with really small people in...
It seems like most of the points have already been made. The weight does not change substantially so the boat rides higher. On most designs this would change...
Wanted to let those who helped at the stitching party and anyone else interested...that the stitches have all been removed. Inwales installed. Gluing in keel...
Hello group. What an exhausting week it has been... I finished up yesterday in completing my civic duty as a juror for the county in a two count child...
I escaped to the Coast today to get a look at the sun. Down at the Charleston Shipyard (always an interesting spot to visit) I stumbled upon this interesting...
Interesting history. Nice curves. A Project, but Ron has apparently proved itself as a worthy yacht. The other stories Ron could tell? Do you think the PK...

Hi, The next step for the Mill Creek 13 project is to install the side deck supports or carlins. The 1/2 x 3/4 x 65" mahogany stock does not like the bend it...
Hello Steve, If you want to get away from steaming the supports my first thought would be to cut the pieces thinner and laminate them in place. I don't know if...
It's always a good idea to take the oral histories of old boats, as passed down from owner to owner, with a grain of salt. A tale grows with the telling, as...
FROM TERRY Hi Steve, Pat would probably be the source on this, but here are some of my tricks, first be sure the grain of the wood to be bent is vertical with...
