Charlie Jones Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 A friend of the owner took the Weekender I built for him up to the Classic & Wooden Boat Festival at the Door County Maritime Museum at Sturgeon Bay this weekend. The EMYLYN won first place for sailboats under 20-ft LOA. Quote

Charlie Jones Posted August 5, 2003 Author Posted August 5, 2003 This site needs to be redone cause things have changed a bunch, but here's a web site where you can see pics of all the boats I've built in the last couple years, save the dink for me and the Princess 22 I have under way right now. There are a good many pics of the Weekender under construction there. http://www.harmonyboatworks.com/ Quote
capt jake Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Charlie, I always love viewing your site. So answer me this, you are in Texas but Harmony Boat works address is in Ill. Are you a subsidiary of a larger entity or how does this all fit together. I am just curious, as i would love to build things for a living. Thanks, John Hope you got the e-mail today! Quote
Charlie Jones Posted August 5, 2003 Author Posted August 5, 2003 John - you'll have to sit down and read the info on the web site. Harmony came about during a chat one night on the TSBB. A bunch of us were batting stuff back and forth and viola!! Harmony was born. It's pretty spread out as of now, but I think the company will become a Texas entity shortly, in conjunction with my current company, CNL Woodworks. CNL holds the MIC's and sold the boats to Harmony, but I think the two will be merging before long. It's an interesting read though, so I think you'll enjoy it. Bear in mind that there was some $35,000 invested in this venture before any one met anyone face to face- this was ALL done via the internet, and mostly on the chat rooms via TSBB Crazy huh? But it's been fun And no, I haven't received an email from you today. Not yet anyway:( Quote
capt jake Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I just sent it to you via Private message. the hyperlink doesn't show, but I think you will figure it out. John Quote
