Here is the best online article I have seen about the advanced dinghy racing practice of sailing downwind by-the-lee.

Another good book on sail theory is Tom Whidden's The Art and Science of Sails. Whidden was the former CEO of North Sails, and you can gain some insight into the technology and competitiveness of the high end sail market in an interview of Whidden by Sailing Anarchy.

Their replica based on Harry Sucher's scow sloop. Harry is IMHO among the greats like Howard I, Nat, Westy, and PB.

I know only a few of you are interested in fast multihulls, but I think everyone like fast boatbuilding methods. So you may find this video that we took yesterday of interest.
It's the assembly of my Strike 15 trimaran main hull, and is 12 minutes long. One continuous shot, no editing.

We just got a hold of a bunch of 'Wind in the Willow' stamps issued by Great Britain in 1979. Susan did the artwork and calligraphy; the matting is done by me.

Who says traditional sails won't go to windward? Here is Chuck Pierce sailing his Mayfly 14 out of the Padre Island Yacht Club during this year's Texas200.

Not really a DIY thing, but interesting, bundle of new technologies used for a ship about to enter service for oil platforms in the North Sea and sub-Arctic.

These guys have managed to 3-d print a full sized boat using recycled milk jugs. Pretty neat stuff, think of the possibilities. More pictures and videos.

Here is an interesting report - if these become commercially available, I would consider putting some of them in my more expensive tools.

These photos are biased toward the sail and oar boats... hope you enjoy the photos.... originally I came up to Oregon from California to pick up a sailboat (northeaster dory) but then I couldn't help myself and decided to travel to Seattle for the boat show.

Thought someone else might find this interesting too....

I found this while searching for info on boat building wood, it's a side by side comparison of eastern white pine and radiata pine.

We've got lots of pictures but few names, etc and I was only there one day. There was a nice article in a local paper, thanks to Paul Esterle I think.

Kuai Le is semi famous, we were on TV, well she was I wasn't. Check this out. She comes on toward the end after the whiners from the Maritime Society. The guy you see in the first part in the small out board boat with the dog is the guy who pulled me off the breakwater on launch day. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, you should see some of the wrecks and abominations actually in the marina.
