A lot of activity at the boat shop!

on Wednesday, January 28, 2015


Carbon oars are in style at Clint Chase Boatbuilder! These are a pair made by Clints students. They can made at any size, shape, and part of any length oar. They make most sense on 8 or longer oars where outboard weight must be kept to a minimum.

On the Dory design front, the lines are complete. To learn about my design approach, click here.

Other news: coming into the shop will be a vintage Flying Fifteen the building of which was supervised by Uffa Fox himself in the ate 1940s. Photographs will be forthcoming. The plan is to give the boat a total restoration. Everything is orginal: oak spars, Egyptian cotton sails, laminated mahagany hull (varnished).

Quite a few inquiries into Shellback Dinghies have been coming in with one order in place. If interested in this great boat, please let us know!
