I have seen the photos of your small stitch-and-glue dinghies and
rowboats. I asked about your experience with ocean-capable boats.

If I am going to go offshore in a small wooden boat, I think I want one
with a spine and ribs, not one glued together at the edges.

Nice picture, here's one I did...

http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/d...?album=6&pos=0

http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/d...?album=6&pos=1

and here is a smaller sailboat.. a hybred..

http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/d...album=6&pos=19

http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/d...album=6&pos=20

Oh, and a dory that could be used to rescue some idiot in a LTP

http://trip-reports.com/coppermine/d...?album=9&pos=2

Now show me something you have built, or a picture of your Zimmerman
will do..

Now, to get back to the point, you don't know ****.. Stick to Google
and your floating clorox bottle...

Which of those boats are ocean-capable for a 50-mile journey offshore?

I'd say any one of them if scaled up. That wasn't justwait's market,
but I have no doubt he could do it.

Nice stuff!
I'm guessing building bigger ones takes the same skills, but more room
and expense.
Ohara's Tolman looks to be amenable to a lot of mods by somebody who
knows what they are doing.

--Vic

Thanks, I have built others too, but for a while didn't bother with
pics at the time... but yes, a lot of the techniques scale up. Either
way, it's the methods I was trying to explain.. I think something
must have glitched today, I will try to get back on track..
