Not any where near as impressive as MMD.
It's kind of a cheat because she hasn't sailed for 5 years now, but I do motor out for a putt once in a while.

John B, yes no rig and lots of work still to be done before she gets one again. Making slow and steady progress. Glad I enjoy working on her! smile.gif

Nice shots you guys. There sure are some sweet boats on this forum.

John B, we call it a "baby dragon". A group of breast-cancer survivors from a near-by town had been active in raising money for cancer research by participating in dragon boat races set up as fund-raising events. They wanted a practice boat, but didn't have enough members to regularly fill out a full-size dragon boat, so wanted a 10- paddle boat. I worked with them and local boatbuilder Scott Dagley (Dagley's Boat Services in Petite Riviere) to come up with a tack-and-tape okume ply thirty-footer. A regular dragon boat is forty feet long (sans head & tail) and has twenty paddlers. The "treadplate" is a stylized skin of dragon scales laid on with a template.

We have just delivered a full-size dragon boat - painted bright pink - to another group of fund-raising ladies. Go, girls!

Thank you, Donn! I must apologise for having asked you that before, and forgotten it.

That's Ian Wright steering, by the way. Not a lot of wind, unfortunately.

Roger, I can't. All the boats in my pictures are OPB's (other peoples' boats). :(

Under way is always debatable with me at the helm, but here goes anyway. smile.gif

[High C]

Wow, you're that Mark Van! I've admired your designs for sometime. I'm particularly fascinated by the 39 footer. What a wonderful river boat that looks to be. I hope I get to see one someday. What kind of weather or seas have you had her in? I realize she's not designed to be a blue water boat, but have you explored those limits?

:cool:

Her she is coming...

BTW, she can pack nearly #18,000 in the small bait hold. The main hold packed #90,000 last summer. ;)

MMD - please - have you got (could I have) some more info on the aly lobster-boat? The one with the windshield. wow!

Mark, check your e-mail. Posting the promotional information here would break the WBF rules.

[Roger Stouff]

Norm, :D I am noisy, ain't I?

Would it be breaking the rules if we threatened to take you downt to the bilge, break your arm off and beat you unmercyfully about the head and shoulders with it if you don't provide details on line. Self promotion is not answering unpromted questions surely.

[Alan D. Hyde]

Ayup, Norm's right, Michael.

Answering such questions is simple courtesy, and not a bit of self-promotion.

Now, I wish to see more also, and you surely don't wish to sully the Canadian reputation for mannerly and gentile conduct on this site, do you??? :D :D :D

Mark's post was not a self promotion, until I recognized the boat and kind of turned it into one. I should've taken my comments to email or PM.

Apologies....

Mark, I wanna go for a ride! :D

[mmd]

Norm, Alan, I'll run the info past Scot and let him decide whether the info I sent to Mark is suitable for posting. If not, I'll e-mail it to you both as well.

The additional information on the aluminum cruiser is too close to promotion, so I will privately e-mail the material.

Alan; clean out your mailbox - there isn't room for my e-mailed info.
