In conjunction with the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society, I will be starting  a boatbuilding class at the Sarah Wray Hall January 14, 2015. I've never built a boat of this size with a class, but I hope we can complete it in 3 months worth of Wednesday evenings, roughly 2 hours each. the finished boat will stay with the society, possibly as the start of a livery fleet in the harbour.
Registration Details are Here.

Friday I delivered the cosine wherry to it's new owner. Here we are at the ferry terminal, with the boat on top of the van. It fit quite nicely up there, but since I don't want to scratch it or worse drop it, I needed  three extra people to load. Thanks to my neighbors, for their help. The van is a Subaru conversion, so pushes the whole thing through the air with no problems, don't think it would have worked as well on top of my old air-cooled van!

Cosine wherry ready to launch!

Cosine wherry finished and ready to launch.
Cosine wherry number 9 is ready to be launched, as soon as the finish fully cures. The dark strips on the topsides are flat-sawn, and give a great ripple effect to the grain.

Storm damaged Wherry

damaged cosine wherry
In the big winds we had last week, a large alder tree fell and squashed one of the rental boats like a bug. The bit of log you see in the picture is just the end of 60 plus feet of tree trunk;  hundreds of pounds... the boat didn't stand a chance. It was such an impact that it bent the frame of the utility trailer that was stored just in front of the boat. I initially thought I could patch it back together, but but after a closer look it would be easier to just build another.
Rest in peace.
