Sounds good to me...... But the Vancouver Lake Sailing Club is mostly booked in June due to races and regattas which means the lake is very busy. We could use...
My place is about two miles from Vancouver Lake I have parking for a lot of cars. My dock is 400 feet long so there would be room for a lot of boats. If we did...
Hi, I have a stripped down, must be at least 1 ton capacity utility trailer, but I'm trying to reduce weight to pull a boat behind my tiny car. This one is...
Well, that sounds like a good place. I've been interested since you first mentioned it. Come up with a date that would be convienent for you and see what...
PNW parks pass is 30.00, most trailheads and public use areas now require it, good in WA & OR (fine, 66.00). S. launch is a good place and it's a nice...

Sounds great, I'll be there! ... can come early Friday and stay till Sunday. We could park a few trailers and motor homes in the driveway and on the grass....
I'd like to go back to Big Elk Creek and the Yaquina River again this year, meeting at Elk City for a messabout. Dick and Bob Mitsch and I had a great time...
I have been thinking of building a dory soon but they have some drawbacks and, having built one before, they are a little cramped for room. I never liked prams...
That was Jim Cooper (who also built the lawnmower-powered boat the kids were having so much fun with), and I believe the boat is a Nutshell Pram. I think the...
If you've got the time, or a fast 'net connection, you can see some of the photos I took at Depoe Bay here: http://www.boat-links.com/images/DepoeBay2003.ZIP ...
John, do you have any info on garveys? That might be what I am thinking of. Sort of a large pram in a way; stable, sailable, roomy. Found some plans available...
Craig, I was going to mention Garvies and Jon boats to you but then figured you were really enamored with the multichine Nordic type of pram. See John...
Craig Merkel said "I would like to take whichever boat I build birdwatching and the wider hull would make it more stable. The wider transom would make it...
I guess I was confused too. Single chined plywood boats, and you're talking my language. Jim Michalak does have quite a few designs that might suit you, in...
Pat, I found your reply to Craig quite thought-provoking. Selectively extracting, in large part it brought forth a strong image of Jim Michalak's Sow's Ear --...
Hi John, Good meeting you all, and chatting. Let me know what kind of cabin camp cruiser you decide on. I'll be interested in following your progress. Terry ...
I've tried to put some Depoe Bay pictures in the photos section, in an album called Depoe Bay 2003. What a great time! (Good work, Jack & Maggie.) Christie and...

I've got plenty of Garveys! The sailing garveys are fairly narrow and easily driven, much different from the V-bottom high speed power garveys that evolved...
Actually, I think Craig wants a sailboat that'll easily handle an outboard auxiliary. ... -- John <jkohnen@...> http://www.boat-links.com/ Never put...
Craig I guess I was Still confused. (What Do you want, anyway? <g>) I guess I'm getting even more lazy in my old age. I did a little cut and paste job, below...
