![]() Tried the Wee Lassie II on the bay in front of the house. This is the first time I've built the bigger Wee Lassie so I wanted to see how it paddled. Not much different, maybe a bit stiffer, and it should be faster due to the longer waterline.

![]() Well its wet here, but from the rain, not the launch. As usual, I got so engaged in the launch process that I forgot to take photos. We launched "Pollito" at the end of the April Tools wooden boat challenge, which meant that I got to show it off to the spectators. The boat fit nicely into the back of Andre's GMC Suburban with a flag and a few hold down straps. ![]() Here I am just before the launch of a new Cosine Wherry. This is the seventh wherry that I have created, and was made for a client in Alberta, who made the trip out here to pick up the boat. I was pleased to be able to source nice dark western red cedar for most of the hull, which contrasted nicely with the lighter strips below the waterline. |
