This page is all about wooden boats. We will be on the lookout for the good stories, maybe take on a project and just find ways to explore and enjoy the beauty and history of the wooden boats in our area. We will be looking for some suggestions on specific boats to cover, let us know what you know!

There is nothing more beautiful cutting through the water than a well kept wooden boat. We will have some tips and directions on how some of the professionals keep the bright work bright!

 

If you have a project you are currently working on we would love to come have a look and hear the story.

I walked into the workshop not knowing what might be inside. The sun was shining outside, when I entered the door it took a second for my eyes to adjust.

 

 

A large wooden hull with a steel spine stood before me, in the middle of restoration, some kind of old fishing boat for sure. The story is a good one. We will fill you in on the back story for now and then follow the project to completion here on Cruising.
