Am anxiously awaiting my first copy of WB. The names mentioned in connection with my boat sure do fall into place. As for the photos my brother, Paul posted...
Okay, Steve, I'll grant you my statement was probably hyperbolic and not entirely accurate. There has obviously been a small nucleus of dear souls who have...
Thanks Roger for the defense. I feel a little "tender" about this issue. Roger Allen BEGGED me to bring the MS to the Constitution Cup in 1988 (before the...
You should have taken a profile picture and told them it was a fanatically restored WOODEN MS! Wood rubrail; wood spars... Who could tell??? -Don ... From:...

Dear Melonheads, I get Wooden Boat and have for at least 1/2 doz. years or more. I though that giving a Crawford Melonseed a mention in the magazine was ...
I think in order to be considered for inclusion in WB, RC would have to build his Melonseeds out of that wondrous ephemeral material, "Noglassatol". G....
It was owning a wooden sailboat (15' Barnegat Bay Sneakbox) that led me to Roger and his wonderful Melonseed. Wooden boats are beautiful and they are a great...
A while ago I was chatting with one of my friends on the staff of WoodenBoat and he said they would LOVE to have me advertise the fiberglass Melonseed in the...

Well Said. ... led me to Roger and his wonderful Melonseed. Wooden boats are beautiful and they are a great connection with history, but they are also...
Roger's boats definitely combine the best of both world's. Wooden goodies and a LEAK-PROOF hull. What's the problem??? Isn't a sneakbox hard-chined? -Don ......
Morons? Somebody has the math backwards. I own a wooden Melon Seed because it cost less than $2500, on a trailer, including a new rig on the side. Even used...
... to ... to ... $18,000 ... Indeed you can. I was intrigued by a 13-foot wooden "dayboat" sloop from the board of a talented designer that appeared on the...
I note that the subject line is not: Iron MAIDENS and Wooden Boats; seems that there is too much testosterone floating around this site the last couple of...
You're so right, Barb. While I will whallop with my oar anyone who says my (glass) Melonseed is not the most perfect boat for me, I can't get *too* excited...
Thank you Barb -- Well said. There really is no argument here. Most of us are familiar with the inherent virtues & characteristics of the various boat...

I went by a boat dealer in Maine last weekend and they had a glass dory/motor and trailer (About 16-17'/maybe 25 hp) for a paltry $13,000!!! I kept going...! ...
Just nipped out for an hour's great sail on Nipper in a brisk 10mph NNW breeze with gusts burying the lee rail. The lake has dropped a few inches and a newly...
Just nipped out to the garage to see if yesterday morning's 105 mph breeze had buried Moxie's lee rail in a concrete wall. Fortunately the boat made it...

my two cents (sense): 1. all boats are wonderful, be they wood, glass, canvas, aluminum, styrofoam, paddle, engine, oar, sail . . . 2. everyone gets to choose...
John, Sailed on the west end of Mendota Sunday and Monday afternoon. I launch at Mendota park. The winds were ideal for a melonseed both days. Such holiday...
