I received an interesting email and photos from Bob the other day, about a Whitehall build, but let me tell it in Bobs own words."I have a boat I am finishing up it is a Whitehall type boat 18x5 ft. I am building it to row and sail. I saw the mould for sale on craigslist it was in my area so I went and looked at it was such a pretty boat I just had to build me one.
I have no history on the boat mould, the man I bought it from lived in No Name Key the Florida Keys, with no electric run to that island it is kinda rough and his family was going to move him to the mainland so they wanted to clean the yard up to sell the house. The old guy said a man that lived across the canal from him about fifteen yrs ago built the mould, made one boat, sailed it around for awhile. He was going to store the mould for the use of it to build him a boat he never did the mould sat in the bushes for years until I came along and bought it.
He told me the mould was made from a very old planked boat that could not be saved so they faired it and made the mould discarded the original.
Regards Bob"
Well she certainly looks nice, and thats a great looking workshop which on the assumption that Bob lives close to Florida might get a little hot in summer, but no issues with it being too cold to cure epoxy.
Looking forward to seeing the finished boat and thanks for sharing the story with is Bob.
