A Pre-Cut Kit for the Laughing Gull - Price Reduced! | |
| We are pleased to announce that we have been able to substantially reduce the price on the pre-cut kit for the Laughing Gull, without compromising quality of materials or the accuracy of the parts. The kit includes the parts shown on the full size patterns, made from high quality meranti marine plywood, and solid lumber. It reduces building time, and gets your project off to a flying start. Add some wood and fastenings from your local lumber yard (the building manuals provides full details), epoxy resin (available from Arch Davis Design), and you will have all you need to build this exciting design! |

Penobscot 17s Offered by Callisto Sailcraft | |
 |
For those who admire the Penobscot 17, but have felt that building one is beyond their capabilities, Callisto Sailcraft will soon be offering complete boats, ready to sail. Built to the highest standards by European craftsman, one of these boats will be on display at the Pt. Townsend Wooden Boat Festival in early September. To learn more go to Callisto Sailcraft. Penobscot 17 - This design was inspired by the many enquiries I have had from builders who admire the lines of the Penobscot 14, but need a bigger boat. The Penobscot 17 features glued lapstrake construction, and graceful, seakindly lines. It offers great performance, under sail or oars. |
Belfast Bay Books |
The Skiff, the Scow, and the Footbridge. A novel by Arch Davis. When twelve-year-old Will Foster launches his sixteen foot skiff, the Buccaneer, he looks forward to a summer of swashbuckling and piracy on the waters of Belfast Bay, in Maine. Unfortunately he runs foul of his tough schoolfellow Frank O’Leary, then capsizes athwart the bow of a 45 ft ketch skippered by old salt Murray Shipman. Murray befriends both boys, but illness and a storm will test them all. This book will appeal to young and old – anyone who loves messing about in boats. Paperback, 373 pages. $17.95 + $6.00 P&H.
