    Default Kids' playground boat

    A few months ago someone here posted a series of pix of the design and construction of a playground boat - sort of a TonkaToy-like pirate ship. Does anyone remember who or what the thread name was?

    I'm volunteering at the Woodenboat Foundation Shop in Port Townsend this summer and our kids' playground boat is no where as neat and getting rather long of tooth. The kids are loving it to death.

    Something like that Tonka-Pirate boat would be a very good thing here if the guy(s) who designed and built it wouldn't mind us copying it.

    James McMullen designed and built a lovely one. It wasn't too large. Not sure if it would be suitable for a playground or not. I'll look for the link.

    Thanks Potomic!
    I'll have to pm James M. Looks like a copyright on the sketch.
