A boat made of high quality wood composites would be nice if it were
made by a real craftworker. I know a couple of builders like that. From
what I have seen of your rowboats, you're not on the list.

Harry, *you are way off base on this.

Scott's boats are well crafted, quality material and excellant
workmanship. *I've seen them - some are works of art and very
uncommon.

Tom, we have lots of high-end boatbuilders around here who work in wood,
on this side of the bay and on the other side. Real works of art. Last
summer I had the privilege of a ride and inspection on a Hooper Island
draketail, built of cold molded wood. Nicest wood boat I've seen in many
years. About 27' if memory serves, and suitable for deep water. There's
also a guy about 25 miles south of here who builds beautiful cedar strip
canoes the old fashioned way. The photos Scott had of his boats when I
last saw his site didn't do a thing for me.

When I was a young lad, my dad bought and had manufactured an L16, one
of the prettiest wood sailboats ever. I've seen and admired many really
beautiful wood boats, close up and from a distance.

Culture may be learned, but taste is subjective.

I guess you are saying Tom doesn't have cultrue or taste. We sure are
lucky that you are here to let us know what is cultured and tasteful.
