oh.. after I win the lottery I'll be able to afford a boat like this or an Elco and leisurely do the Great Circle Route 1st Class.....Sigh...

SEAKING – 83′ Manteo Motor Yacht (1942)

I volunteer at the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum in Manteo, North Carolina... Never heard of a shipyard which built boats such as yours... I'd love more information.

35′ Chapelle New Haven Sailing Sharpie (1977) – BETSY D.

Built an 18 ft sharpie about 4 years ago.. More wrack of eye than anything else... The balanced rudder annoys me because you really can't leave it alone because it has a mind of its own. And it sure collects weed.. So a skeg and regular rudder are in the offing... Probably the cheapest and easiest boat to build. Used a better construction grade plywood. The ribs came from an oak table i picked up on dump day and the stem was a piece of driftwood from the beach...
