Got plans for one of these handy?


Might be a fun project.

Sure, piece of cake. We could build it in a couple of weeks


I have some great offsets from Mystic/Gardner.


It's actually a Cunningham design, but I won't quibble. Gardner did a
nice job keeping the design alive.


We can build it in my basement.


It's heated. :)


Totally old school, or hybred with new technology?


I'll give you a call tomorrow.

I'm leaning towards hybrid.

Although old school would be fun.- Hide quoted text -

We can do a hybred that looks and feels like old school. That pine of
yours can be used if we laminate frames anyway, or steam bend, either
one is ok. If you like the Cunninham lines, get ahold of the offsets
and we can adjust accordingly. The dory I am thinking of is Gardners
Marblehead Gunning Dory, it is an 18 footer iirc. If we are doing
traditional dories, I will be wanting to do a Chamberlin sailing semi
next to it
I've seen the Melonseed. It is an absolute work of art. Perfect in every
detail. I'm sure the skiff is just as nice. It better be for the price.
