Starting a New Year!

1/1/2019

I started the new year with a row in "Fine" number 1. I haven't been out for a couple of weeks, but I have my boat down on the dock again, and it was beautiful this afternoon so off I went. You can look at my row here.

Summer boat shows

7/16/2018

 I'm planning to be at three events this summer.  First, the Richmond  Maritime Festival, on July 28 and 29. Then back home for Pender Harbour Days on August 3,4,5. And finally at the Vancouver Wooden Boat Festival at Granville Island on August 23 to 26. Come and see the latest "Fine" sliding seat boat, and if you make it to Pender Harbour Days, you could also go for a row in my personal "Fine" or in the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society's Handliner.

I'm working on the hull of a new "Fine", wearing the new Christmas shop coat; the old one having accumulated enough epoxy to stand up on it's own. Cedar is going up in price, but was able to score some nice boards, including a pretty fine 20 footer. Might try a tandem sliding seat boat?

sliding seat rowboat

 Just like the one I traveled across Canada with; but with a couple of upgrades. The rigger is slightly lighter,and the rear deck is cedar (instead of door-skin). The light band in the hull is yellow cedar, and I've got the oars down to 5 lbs. Put it on Craigslist today.
Boat is sold! new owner in Seattle.

Back from the grand adventure!

I'm back in the shop, having just returned from 2 1/2 months on the road. Pat and I visited the east coast by van, taking the dog; and of course a boat.  20,000 Km + in a 30 year old westfalia. It was a great adventure.

We stopped in at Mystic Seaport for the wooden boat festival, and then continued up into Canada.  I rowed the boat in different places as we traveled and tried to teach the dog (a Border Collie mix) to sit in the stern...

Wee Lassie Canoes
These canoes are crated and on their way to Italy, via the client's home in Germany.
Red Cedar, with yellow cedar and maple trim, and red and yellow cedar paddles. The seat backrests are held in place with rare earth magnets, they snap into place nicely!

Delivering a Wherry!

The Westfalia is being pressed into service as a delivery vehicle again. I'm on the way to meet the new owner in White Rock. The van actually carries the boats well; they only weigh 95 lbs, and the westy has a Subaru engine swap to give a bit more oomph. The trick is getting the boat up there, I usually have to call all my neighbours to come and help, this would not be the time to drop it!
