I'm using these pages to document the various boat-building projects I undertake as well as a place to post my research into various aspects of late 19th and early-to-mid 20th century yachting. My interest lies primarily with smaller craft and the cruising stories and experiences published within the pages of The Yachting Monthly and similar magazines - as well as in many books - by a loosely-knit fraternité of primarily British artists and authors.
