Classic Yacht Magazine new issue
Submitted by cac on Sun, 2007-08-26 15:08Classic Yacht Magazine has their new third issue out. Of particular note to me is an article on electric boats.
Their photography is quite nice, page layout is good. I was very unsure of one of these "turn the page" format online magazines instead of just an HTML page, but it really seems well done and works well, even on a Linux box. read more »
Restoration project?
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2007-06-18 10:49Jim Konst dropped me a note concerning this old boat he ran across... if you're in the Ohio area and feel like a big (BIG) project, might be worth stopping by and chatting with the owner.

Submitted by cac on Tue, 2007-04-24 13:19Another pointer received from Gavin Atkin over at InTheBoatShed.net - this link has some great pictures from the 2007 Mount Dora Antique and Classic Boat Festival - classic wood runabouts (and a few other fun toys). You don't see boats like this anymore.
Steamlaunch
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2007-04-23 22:20The Steam and Diesel Launch Page, build your own or buy ready to go!
If you at all like/appreciate the older, classic style boats, you owe it to yourself to check out this page. The Whio and Firefly designs are featured, with plans available. The BoatDesign.net forums had a long thread whose opening post (and many others) covered the Whio. Its a very pretty, and apparently very efficient design.
