Back to the Boatshop
After a few days in the Lazyboy chair it was time to get back to work. Cataract had a few issues that needed attention: And Hetch Hetchy has an issue as well: We got a contract for another 1/6 scale dory and set to work on that: We encountered a [...]
McKenzie Dory Boatbuilding Class
Good News! For those of you that, like me, were so sad to see WoodenBoat School close for the 2020 season, I'm delighted to announce we are on track for a full season in 2021. With the good news of Covid vaccines coming online in the next few months, there's [...]
