Old Wharf Dory Fishing Work Pleasure Skiffs and Boats

Shoes

Here I am fitting the shoes to the bottom of the boat. One has been installed, one ready to be cut to fit. Since this boat will be finished by the owner, once both shoes are installed, the only thing left to do is turn it back over and put it on the trailer.

Back to the 20'LYS

In this photo the boat is back upside down, and I am starting to sheathe the boat with epoxy and 6 oz. fiberglass cloth. One side of the bottom is done. The next piece of cloth is layed out, ready for epoxy.

Another Bolger Boat

Spotted this "Birdwatcher" design tied up in a slip at the Wellfleet Pier. It was around 4th of July week-end. Never saw her sailing, nor did I see anyone aboard. I saw this boat here last year, but never spoke to the owner. Anyone know anything about her ?

One of the originals

Here's a photo of a dugout canoe, made by Wampanoags at Plimoth Plantation. They build 2 or 3 a year. They said this one is going to the Smithsonian. Fire is the main tool.

Cape Cod Maritime Festival

Thanks to all who stopped by at the Festival, it was a lot of fun, the weather was not too bad, and the food was good. More soon.
