Cute little boat

Somewhere in the water below HESPERIA, 200′ down, was what remained of the town of Riffe: the concrete foundations of a general store, a post office, two Baptist churches, a gristmill, and the homes of 350 souls. The Port City of Tacoma, 50 miles to the north, needed electricity, and wanted it cheaper than the power purchased from a power plant on the Columbia River. The city appropriated the valley around the Cowlitz River under eminent domain and began building the Mossyrock Dam in 1965…

When Antonio Dias designed his 17’ camp-cruisier, the Harrier, he had accommodations for rowing in mind, but almost certainly didn’t expect that one builder, Detlef Arthur Dueker, would rig his Harrier for Venetian oars. #smallboats #boatbuilding #boatlife #rowing #rowboat #venetiangondola #venetianoars #austria #diy #buildyourown #onthewater

A motor cruiser, newly restored by Chip Miller and Scott Conrad of Six River Marine in North Yarmouth, has become a new home for a Maine couple.

As a wooden boat, the Escargot is an unlikely charmer. It has a hull like a shoebox, only one curve to speak of, and is entirely bereft of brightwork and brass. Nonetheless, it has an ineluctable appeal inside and out. The cabin with its arched roof and stovepipe has the look of a gypsy wagon and the lure of running away from it all, in comfort. My father said of it: “The moment I step aboard, I’ve arrived.” #smallboats #tugboat #DIY

We wanted a relatively small trailerable boat that was suitable for overnight travel. It had to have a galley, a head, and berths for at least two. I also wanted a boat that had a traditional appearance and used readily available materials, not exotic and costly tropical hardwood. And, it had to be possible to build it in my double garage with the tools that I had on hand and with my limited boatbuilding skills. When I came across Philip Thiel’s Escargot, it seemed to fit the bill except for…

How useful are Solar and Electric boats anyhow? The large Solar Electric Mundoo 3 was one of the more interesting projects I've been involved in. It was the brainchild of Robert Ayliffe, then at Duck Flat Wooden Boats and Ted Dexter. This liveaboard boat was featured on the cover of WoodenBoat magazine at the time and was a tremendous success for the owners who found it fitted their needs perfectly.

AN ADVENTUROUS couple have shared a walk-and-talk tour of their narrowboat – and despite it being rusty, they cannot wait to call the 64ft canal boat their new home. Travel-obsessed couple Julian and Heidi took to TikTok to proudly share a little glimpse of the boat that’s now replaced their full-time van life. According to […]
