We have just added a new Video section to the website with over 200 online streaming videos, DVDs, and CD-ROMs! We feel these are great resources for novice and experienced do-it-yourselfers alike, and many videos are FREE!

Dear Chuck,
Your readers may enjoy some boat porn from the waters of New Zealand.

Dear Sailing Friends, Many of you have asked to be notified when the plans for RebelCat 5 become available. Others have asked to see photos of it. If you have not already seen the video of RebelCat 5 on YouTube, you can see it here:

Here are a few videos from Gary Blankenship from the recent Florida 120. This first one shows Olivier Chamel steering Bill Moffitt's Ember's Watch... |

This is my father's boat, the Anna-Olivia: It is heavily influenced by the PT boats. It is rock solid with that deep V
bow.
It gets heavily used on the Atlantic at the Dutch / Belgian coast, including
canal passages to the UK.
No hernias from pounding and we get some nasty short steep chop around
there...

Chuck and Sandra,
The color photographs HERE date from 1900-1918 or so, and were taken by a Russian chemist who had developed a three-camera method for taking such photographs. They are startlingly clear and immediate.
One of them dates from the time of Peter the Great

Hello Chuck and Sandra,
I think I've estalished the right boating formula for myself. I've decided to stay with two boats: The Jim Michalak designed Robote called "Flaneuse" here in Warsaw...
|
 |
... and Graham Byrne's Bay River Skiff 17 called "Doppio" up there at the Baltic seaside marina. I can get there by car or night train and rig her in 30 minutes. Once a year, I tow her to Finland.
And I'm reading Duckworks magazine every day :-)

I'm building a Paradox (Matt Layden Design) in the city of Rawson (43º 21' S, 65º 03' W) Chubut, Argentina. This will be the world's southernmost Paradox.
Kind regards

Hi, Chuck,
I'd appreciate it very much if you would plant a link to my "3 Years of the Boat" blog on Duckworks magazine. It's an illustrated blog about building my 19' Devlin Winter Wren, touching on boatbuilding technique, innovations, and character development. Many thanks.

For those of you who might be interested, there are now two monster
multihulls getting ready to stage their titanic duke-out for the America's
Cup Trophy. Maybe you've already seen the remarkable trimaran of BMW/Oracle
that is berthed in San Diego. (Photo Album Here)...

Well, the boys in Switzerland have just introduced their own boat in answer

Well, now that I'm back from a very relaxing vacation, I have managed to get
my act together and update my site with the latest stuff from the Greek
