One piece of news: my friend Marc Bauer has completed drawings lines and construction details for the Rushton catboat. But Marc has also published a short article about drawing the boat and its design, which you can read here.

The current boat I am working on is a St. Lawrence River Skiff, built to lines of the Sheldon skiff at Mystic Seaport. I am finishing the boat this fall and winter and hope to have it available for delivery next spring. She is planked entirely in Atlantic white cedar, perhaps the most prized small boat planking material in the norhteast. She will be framed in white oak or locust.
