Gentry’s Shenandoah Whitehall is a modern boat with traditional lines that’s large enough to take an adult and a kid camping, relatively seaworthy, efficient under oars, and light enough to toss on the roof of the car. For a few hundred dollars and a few dozen hours, it can provide a novice with both a manageable entry into boatbuilding and rowing adventures. #boats #whitehall #boatbuilding #rowboat Wooden Boat Plans, Wooden Boats, Marine Plywood, Seaworthy, Canoes, Dinghy, Gentry, Oars, Boat Design

For the Sei, a 14’ 7” double ender, John Welsford found inspiration in the workboats of Norway’s southern fiords. He took away the keel, gave the hull a flat, beach-friendly bottom, and kept weight to a minimum with glued-lapstrake plywood construction. #boatbuilding #boat #DIYboats #sailboat #sailing Baleen Whales, Hulled, Bigger Boat

In the 1940s, Lindon Parker designed and built a carvel-planked boat for tending the herring weirs around Deer Island, New Brunswick. The design would have been lost if the last of the shapely carvel dinghies had not caught the eye of Harry Bryan, who cleaned it up and took its lines. #boat #boats #boatbuilding #DIYboats #dinghy Canoa Kayak, Boat Paint, Row Boats, St Petersburg Russia, Best Boats
