Since 1986, in my little shop in the heart of the Adirondacks, I have been building or restoring:

• Adirondack Goodboats - the unique rowing/sailing/motoring boat that I designed to be an alternative to the guideboat which has everybody in the Adirondacks so mystified, as if it were the only rowing boat that ever was. I've built 66 of these.
• Antique Guideboats - by various builders, at various prices. Call for list.
• Rushtons
• Wood-canvas canoes
• Custom Boats - such boats as the charming electric launch Lily, the great uncapsizable trailer-sailer and camping-cruiser Birdwatcher, various flat-bottomed rowboats, or, in fact, anything you like!

My Goodboats and Chipmunk Canoes are available at half-price in complete kit form, or at any stage of completion. Opportunities occur for people to come and work with me to build their own Goodboats, build kit boats of other designers, or apprentice to me.

I buy and sell small boats in a small way and like to consult on them, using my small knowledge of what works well and what is available.

Please look around the site for more detail on many of these subjects. To learn more about me, read the Builder's Background.
