Finally found some space in my schedule to do some more planking on the BCC. Though there are distractions on the horizon, we are going to try and get this hull planked. Cedar will help out some as time allows. I will keep some pictures coming along as things progress. . . . |

This is certainly a difficult boat building economy and I've had to put the BCC on hold for now but I'm sure I'll be back planking soon. There is still fun to be had. See the main news. . . . |

Summer is Over

Summer has been a time of boat repair, oar making, tuning up Tern for local trips and a month long trip north to Desolation Sound and beyond. We had a chance or two to get out on the water ourselves.

Building The Bristol Channel Cutter
garboards on

Some progress! Two apprentices, Cedar and Brett, and myself have begun building this handsome 32 footer. Frames are up. Some bracing, some tweaking, some fairing with planking soon to follow. The frames are double sawn laminated balau attached to bronze floors with 3/8" bronze bolts. The planking will be yellow cedar. More photos and news as we go.
