PadrePoint Posted November 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Ok, another off-topic post. A proud poppa is posting photos of what my son just sent me of his just-completed canoe, built from plans. I don’t know who the designer is, not it’s design name. He does say he is invoking the “10-foot rule.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePoint Posted November 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 A newsletter article in Small Boat Advisor’s virtual “Winter Boat Show” The SBA wrote to their email list folks an invitation to write about their boat… pros and cons… that might be included in their virtual boat show. This is what I submitted. It was included in their Day 2 email. I guess I didn’t come up with any cons. Oops. B&B Core Sound 15, Ted Johanson: “When I retired in 2020 I stumbled upon the BandBYachtDesigns.com website and bought the full kit of their Core Sound 15 sailboat. The “stimulus” checks my wife and I received during COVID covered most of the kit cost, and stimulated a great small business. The kit had everything needed (except for screws, nuts, and bolts to mount the the fittings.) All pieces were exactly cut and fit together beautifully. The boat was finished and launched within 3 months of my getting the kit home. Some reasons that I enjoy this boat so much: 1. Alan Stewart of B&B made a series of twenty videos that taught and showed me every step in building the boat… ‘I can DO this!!’ 2. I appreciate all of the coaching and answered questions offered by B&B during the building process. 3. I like how the cat ketch boat sails and how the hull moves through the water. 4. Set up at the boat launch takes ten or fifteen minutes, unless someone comes up to inquire about my boat… a frequent occurrence, but I enjoy talking about the boat. 5. I can pull it to the lake with my very small car and can push the boat around my yard for storage. 6. The CS15 can comfortably hold 5 or 6 people with the wide open cockpit and seating. 7. It seems like a safe boat and will not ‘turtle’ with the mast float. 8. My wife and family enjoy sailing it.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
