Don't know if this will help but Ballentin boat shop carries a bronze traveler for the Haven 12.5. That might work

Alan, thanks for asking. I sailed GINA*B for four seasons before deciding to sell her to a nice gentleman in Virginia.
I am in the process of building another Haven 12.5. This one will be strip...

Thank you Cecil for posting. I met Mike several years ago when we started a boat builders get together here in Raleigh, NC. Cecil had us over to his place to share our interest in wooden boats. A...

The boat I am restoring, a '79Alberg 22 did not come with portlights, just cutout plexiglas mounted to the cabin sides. Has anyone made wooden frames for portlights on this forum? I'd be interested...

Thanks for all the replies.
I need four feet either 1/2" or 5/8" wide.

I can find sources for bronze rod. Does anyone know of a source for half round or half oval?

The Nexus Universal 70UNE is a nice compass that you can mount on your boat and remove when you want to take a hand bearing.

I was out of state this past week in South Carolina. I was out in a rural area off HWY 52 and noticed a small junk shop. I got a chance to stop by and went in to take a look. Sitting in the back...

I like to use those six pack apple sauce containers. They are just right for mixing small batches of epoxy.

Thanks, I checked out the Boulter web site. Shipping by common ground carrier runs $70 for 150lbs to Raleigh, NC. If they carry a good grade of marine fir or okoume, sounds like a good deal on the...

Thanks for all the advise. Alan, I'm looking forward to seeing pictures and solicting your feedback on construction. I have sent you an email offline during Thanksgiving.

Try Lee Valley Tools, they have one that sells for about $15 and you can mount it on a camera tripod.

Little Moby, by Charles Wittholtz specifies a side mounted 12" ships wheel for steering. I am not familar with this set up. Does anyone know of any available resources that detail this arrangement....

Thank for the feedback. Does anyone know where to obtain plans for the Poulsbo boat?

I've been looking at starting another boat since I finished my Haven a couple of years ago. I like the looks of the steam launch Felix by Selway Fisher. Anyone know of someone building or who has...

In Forty Wooden Boats, next to the forward section, there is an article by Weston Farmer. In this article he discusses a wooden launch named the Irreducible. I did some research and found out more...

Does anyone have any suggestions or references for setting up a lazy jack systme for a Haven 12.5? It would be nice to have the sails come down in an orderly fashion.
Also, any ideas on how to rig...

I envy you Noah. Good luck. I am sure she is in good hands. Please continue to share work in progress photos.

Thank you for bringing this up. I went through the article two times and reread a couple of paragraphs as well. I was wondering if it were just me that couldn't get it, but you are right, pointless...

I'm just about finished reading Wildtrack (fiction) by author Bernard Cornwell. It's an interesting read with a lot of talk about sailing, refurbishing an older wooden boat, putting on a copper...

Stunning!!

WOW!

I was out on the lake this past Sunday and winds were 15mph gusting to 20mph. On some runs my handheld GPS (Garmen) indicated the speed in my Haven 12.5 at 6.5 mph. Would this be a true speed. I...

Thanks to all! I went sailing yesterday and peaked the gaff properly. I could definately see a difference in the sail shape and performance. Only thing I need to do know is ease up a bit on the...

Thanks for all the replies, remember I am fairly new at this, with only two seasons under my belt in my Haven. I have never tried to peak the gaff until I saw wrinkles appear from peak to tack. I...

I have a gaff rigged Haven 12.5. My mainsail is lashed to the boom and gaff. My mainsail does not have battens. What is the proper way to raise the mainsail. The how to manual instructs to raise...

Thanks for all of the replys and suggestions. I'll put them to test. I guess all of the things mentioned go into play except dirty bottoms and stretchy halyards...I've got that covered.
Dan and I...

My frind Dan and I both have Haven 12.5's. I launched mine a few years back, Dan just launched his a few weeks ago. We were both out on the lake yesterday and his boat was out performing mine. (If...

Really nice.

Art, that is first class work, she is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see her under sail. I hope she made it home safely.

A long past issue on wooden hoops by WB on Lowell listed the thickness and the length of the strip for different size mast hoops.

WOW!

Try Heritage Marine Insurance, they advertise in WB. I had no problem insuring my Haven 12.5

Great looking boat and workmanship!

I showed it to my wife and she wanted to know why I didn't stay as neat and clean as the guy in picture when I sand on my boat.

BEAUTIFUL!

Tom, I had my Haven there last year. You were right, during the lulls plenty of people came by. It was almost claustophopic in the boat center with people trying to get out of the rain and looking...
