 Wild Horses. The late Joel White's last design, one of two W class boats built to date. It is envisioned that this class will bring back the days of big boat one design class racing. |
 The cockpit of Wild Horses. Check out that enormous laminated wood wheel. |
 The launch Curio, built by Cutts and Case. |
 Curio again. Exquisite varnish work and period hardware hide the fact that she is of modern epoxied wood-strip construction. |
 The organic contours and grain interplay of a Woodsong canoe. |
 A Joel White designed Layla sistership. |
 An Ian Oughtred designed Caledonia Yawl, built in glued lapstrake ply construction by 2 Daughters Boatworks. |
 A glued lapstrake plywood constructed peapod. |
 Probably the best feature of the 1998 WoodenBoat show was the Family Boatbuilding event. For a small fee, kits of various designs were provided to parent/child (or even grandparent/child/grandchild) teams for construction during the duration of the show. Fifty teams participated and all but one made it to the water on launching day. |
 Proper tools and safety gear make the job much more enjoyable. |
