History
Years ago, as an outrigger canoeing enthusiast, I became interested in wooden boatbuilding. To increase skills in the craft, I decided to learn from the pro's. Dues were paid by doing all the dirty work for the nefarious local shipwrights, varnishers, and painters. At this point, there are many aspects of working on boats (especially wooden boats) which I do very well. However, I don't know everything. If I don't know how to do something, I'll let you know. Some of the boats worked on with them are; Cho - Cho - San (1923 Classic Wooden Sailboat), Conception (1980's charter dive boat), Harbor Pathfinder (1940's charter fishing boat), IL Moro (1992 America's Cup Sailboat), Irish Eyes (1952 Stevens wooden motor yacht), Vanguard (1980's charter Whale watching boat) . Some of the other boats I've worked on are; Alura II (1929 Lawley mot
