The subject of this build comes from the book “The Sloops of the Hudson River” by Paul E. Fontenoy.
Plan 4 from the book will be used. It is “Sloop Robert Wiltsie, built by William Dickey at Nyack,New York, in 1836. Lines taken off original half model by Charles G. Davis; head, stern,and deck details reconstructed. (YACTHING, FEBRUARY 1933)”
I have decided to build this ship out of Bamboo. I have a small grove in the back yard which willprovide the material. I splits easy using a pair of wire cutters. A finishing plane and sandpaperare used to square up planks and timbers.Walter

The subject of this build is the Sea Bright Skiff.The plans are from the book From “The Sea Bright Skiff and Other Shore Boats” by Peter J. Guthorn.This is a 1919 skiff and the plans were created by Harold A Seaman.This boat will be built with coffee sticks. After importing the plans into a cad program a working set was made.The keel has been started and templates for the molds have been made.Walter

Hi,The subject of this build is the Hampton Whaler as illustrated on page 143 of Howard I. Chapelle’s book American Small Sailing Craft. For me the purpose of this project is to acquire some Cad drawing skills, enter the world of scratch building and experiment with lifting plans from books. The scale chosen is 1:44 so the boat could be built from coffee stirrers picked up from a famous coffee shop over many visits. The first step of the project was to photograph page 143 and import it into turbo cad.
Tracings of the keel and body plan were made and printed.
From the body plan molds were made to form the hull. The molds were set up on a piece of plywood.
The keel was constructed.
The planking will be conducted on the molds and the frames inserted after the planking is completed.
