Pretty boats. While there are some really attractive fiberglass boats
being built these days, some are just plain eyesores. These "old school"
wood boats all have classic lines.


"Old School" wood boats?

Harry, these are cold molded (hardly old school) and overlaid with
Dynel roving cloth. There is some mahogany in the deck planks and in
the frames:

Quote:


We build entirely in the WEST (Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique) method
for logevity and low upkeep. Framework and outer planking are of the
finest pattern grade Honduras mahogany. Inner planking is African
(Okoume) mahogany imported from France. Construction time averages
twelve months for runabouts and 1 1/2 to 2 years for larger boats. All
painted surfaces are sheathed with Dynel cloth, which is 6 times more
abrasive-resistent than fiberglass.

End Quote.

But it's nice to see that you're no longer sensitive to any mention of
a boat manufacturer or product for sale. (especially four year old
Parkers with 115 hours on the meter) :-)
