It's a shame they don't list some of his accomplishments. the site is
really vague.

If he had been an axe murderer his "bio" would have been a page long.

At least now I know where he's buried.....


That's a very unusual hobby.

Do you suppose that if CC Smith went to hell he's been forced to build
fiberglass boats as a punishment? :-)

On a serious note, I bet that a lot of the venerated traditionalists
from the 1st half of the 20th Century and the last half of the 19th
wouldn't have worked in wood if there had been a choice available to
them. (Now being subjected to a barrage of rocks, bottles and boos from
wood boat fans). Fiberglass is the current "default" material for most
pleasure boat building, but will there be boaters 150 years from now
enjoying a substantially improved technology and looking back at
fiberglass as "quaint" and old-fashioned?

I can see it now, boats built from some space-age compound we haven't
even heard of yet, with fiberglass deck trim
to give them a saltier, and more traditional appearance......
