Beautiful catboat! The sailing garvey looks like a lot of fun too.

Does anyone know anything about this William Garden scow schooner that was abandoned somewhere near Port Townsend?

This is what I'd be driving to the mill if I had enough spare $. 8' 5" bed.

I'm assuming they are copper nails and fairly small diameter. I've ground the bottom of a pair of diagonal cutting pliers (dikes) on a belt sander to make them thinner. I just force them through the...

Very few people are willing to invest millions of dollars to make thousands of dollars. It's also over 200 tons so few people possess the proper license to operate it.

It is. But I still don't know how to edit a title when I mess up.

I've been using Fuller bits for over 40 years. I built and repaired many boats without stripping or braking screws and didn't realize the tapered bits were no good. Then I started reading too much...

I gave the wreck of a garvey posted earlier in this thread to the kids up the block. They are having a blast with it.

Looks great!

I've never found it to be a problem in the last 45 years.

You can scandalize the rig with only one topping lift. One or two topping lifts makes no difference. If you want lazy jacks you'll need a double topping lift.

Just list it in the usual places and sell it without a HIN. The next owner can worry about a HIN if they want to.

I spoke briefly to the owners daughter. The hull was built by an old timer in VA. who passed away before getting to the deck. It was in a barn for years before the present owner bought it. They have...

Hey Jim. How many bd. ft. of black locust do you think your new rig can haul?

What are the dimensions of that boat? It looks like it would be a pretty big tong boat. I think Jorgenson built one around 41' or so and that was about the biggest tong boat around. Most were high...

You need to contact Mystic Seaport Ships Plans as they now have the Atkin plans.

Beautiful!

Find someone with a lathe. Black locust is a good choice, teak, mahogany, ipe, lots of woods will work fine.

You over steamed it. An hour per inch of thickness is the general rule.

Another reason to plug as you go, especially on a long-term project, is that the holes can go out of round with changes in moisture content of the planks through the seasons. I know of a sizeable...

I just asked him and he said R. A. Ribb.

The tonger down the creek is getting his heads from I think Mass. He's not thrilled with them but that's all he can find.

Three more photos that a friend just sent me. Two tong boats and a raking boat. All berthed in Mud Creek, in West Babylon.

Have you considered any of John Welsford's designs? You've got some great choices so far.

That's a marconi rigged one. It also happens to be in my backyard right now. The one in the photo is an earlier boat. Probably 1920's. Some of his earlier boats were quite nice, this one has the...

Thanks.

It's a bit bigger than an SS. He doesn't remember it's dimensions but I'd guess about 18'-20'.

Sometimes referred to as "Cage" blocks. They were intended to help minimize weight aloft.

RGM was one who's name I couldn't recall. Very knowledgeable pro. Scott Rosen and Dave Carnell are a few more.
