Good series of stories by a Navy/Coast Guard guy. Maybe a little hard on the maintenance and crew aspects (you do what you can and hire who you can), but knows his stuff mostly. The comments after the posts have a lot of good info, too.

Now there's a structural material for boats and RVs that will not absorb moisture-and does its no-maintenance job under cover. Great for seat backs and bottoms as well as structural supports, Endurabond has great adhesion and fastening properties and its PVC formulation will never rot or splinter.

This article I found about wing sails caught my eye and maybe of interest to boat experimenters. It basically describes how to make a self tending sail, forget about sheets, the sail adjusts its angle automatically.

An unfortunate result of my efforts was the failed new "Steampunk" rudder which is showcased in my buddy Tom's first EC13 Youtube video he posted. It's slightly slow-mo'd due to technical problems with the GoPro card.

I built a large "pirogue" stitch and glue. This slide show, shows its construction. It may help. I did not have any plans, BUT i did have years of canoeing experience to help with dimensions.

Gannon and Benjamin is one of the shops building a new whale boat for Mystic Seaport as Mystic over hauls the Charles W. Morgan. I love the lines of the whaleboats, for all their size and weight. Five high school rowers were able to make them GO! when we were racing the old ones at Mystic.

A few weeks ago the Coots had a messabout at the Multnomah County Library in the Megalopolis (also known as "Portland"). We had some interesting old books pulled out of storage for us, including some bound volumes of Pacific Motor Boat. I may put some more articles from PMB online. Here's one to whet your interest.
