Hi Jim, Yes manhandling that mast alone is getting to be a chore for me also. I suspect that you've outlined the solution which is stays and bowsprit. I'm...

Is the tabernacle on this Chebacco part of the original design? If so could some kind person scan the tabernacle detail from the original drawings and post it....
Steve, I have seen their products and seriously considered using a sidemount oarlock and have a 1/2" blank threaded to accept their 3/8" shaft. I like their...

A Dovekie is cool, but a Shearwater is a rare thing! With only just a few ever built. This is a broken record, of course, but I (we) would love to see...
I wonder if you won't find some old boat already there that is really cool? Seems like a possibility. Also, if you can do without sails, I think it was some UN...
Hi All, At this point I am thinking that I will be doing either a Chebecco type tabernacle, a hinge arrangement similar to that used on at least some...
I bought this book recently and it isn't what I thought. I am selling it for $15.00 plus shipping. Like new, excellent condition contact me by e-mail....

I really think that you are trying to correct a problem which either doesn't exist or, if it does, is so insignificant that it isn't worth fooling with. I...
A straight sprit can be about 1/2 the diameter and weight of a curved sprit. Since most of the load is compression. The curved boom on Wolftrap weighed 16 lbs...
Dories are rowboats not sailboats, have had real good luck with the Gloucester Gull. Wind is more of an issue than wave height because of windage. You can pack...
