After visiting Goolwa, South Australia and Gippsland Lakes I decided to get a small boat. I couldn't find what I wanted so I built an 18' Sharpie.

First out of town sail. A few details.

The following year I built a boat powered by Hobie Mirage Drives.

'found on an old back-up drive:

- I've captained some fancy boats but ironically my all time favourite was Tor Helge.

- when I stopped running boats and moved ashore, I lived in Stacy NC

- a project I managed

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. -George Bernard Shaw
  18-foot Modified Sharpie Skiff, Hooper Island, Chesapeake Bay, 1906.
"The type represents the highest stage of evolution of the sharpie into the deadrise skiff. The model is moderate, neither a burdensome workboat nor a flat out racer"
