So, would someone want/be willing to have a professional builder finish it off? It will make a lovely day sailer/weekender.

The partially built Rugosa 20’ ketch is available for finishing off. The owner is unable to complete the construction. The boat is located in western Maine. Contact me and I will put you in touch with the owner.

Saturday, August 9th is the Blue Hill Maritime Heritage Festival. Is anyone who has built or owns one of our designs who is within striking distance of Blue Hill interested in bring your boat up to display or put in the water for the day?

The festival runs from 10 to 4. They schedule the show so the tide is high about noon time. Theres music and speakers, and a bunch of boats. Its fun!

In the past I have represented the local high school where I taught boatbuilding for a few years. Lately I’ve done boat dedugn and buikdung demonstrations. This year the organizers asked if there were boats available.

You can comment, email or message me.

I look forward to hearing from you!
