Jul 3, 2004 · Interesting that this post should show up now. I picked up a pond yacht this past weekend. It belonged to a neighbor who gave it to us "kids" 25 years ago. So, on the trip home to visit the grandparents, I retrieved it from the basement and son and I hope to give "Bourtai" new life on Walden Pond. Here are some pictures:

Sep 28, 2009 · Re: antique pond yacht By the way. Looks very nice. Here at Redd's Pond there is lots of model boat sailing. The Commodore (of the model yacht club) is an antique dealer who deals in boat models among other things. He had four antique pond models in a recent auction that made $1000 apiece, which he said was less than half what they should have ...

Mar 18, 2017 · I am restoring a pond yacht dating from around 1912 for a friend- it was her grandfathers, and is gaff rigged. It is about 22" long over the bowsprit and tiller, and clinker built, apparently over a solid hull. It seems nicely made, with …

Jan 13, 2011 · This proved such a success that The "Lady" Yacht Club was formed in 1945. The name was derived from the yachts that were first sailed "Perfect Lady"1-8. This was increased to ten boats and crews with a skipper, mate and 3 crew members to each crew who normally sailed together during their membership of the club.

Aug 26, 2004 · Most of the "pocket cruisers" in larger sizes are too heavy to trailer. I would recommend the Princess 22 from B&B Yacht Designs. I am going to build the Pricess 26 and it weighs only 2700#. You can rig in 5-10 minutes...un-stayed Cat Ketch. Centerboard is offset along the galley to provide more room in the cabin.

Apr 30, 2008 · Well yes she's obviously not a sailing yacht but a motor yacht. Here's a description of the LOG for sale: GERM WW2 FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THIS ULTRA RARE HERMAN GORING PERSONALITY ITEM. THE ORIGINAL LOG BOOKS FOR GORING'S FAMOUS MOTOR YACHT CARIN II, from May 1939 to August 1939 in case, plus Log books …

Jun 17, 2011 · Re: Outer Banks 20 by B&B yacht designs The OB 20 is my favorite boat from probably my favorite designer working today. She packs an awful lot into twenty feet and does it with style and functionality. Graham was working on a 22 1/2' version which allowed stand up room in the pilot house as well as a more functional galley.

Nov 28, 2022 · Re: Tripled planked yacht repair. Raven- You just have to keep cutting back to good wood. Dry is best for epoxy, of course. I just finished rebuilding the stern of a large cold molded boat, (4 layers: 3 diagonal 3/8" then 3/4" fore and aft. all in epoxy.

Jul 9, 2004 · I'm still holding out for a recommendation, even though I sent for info from several sources. Like a full size boat, a set of plans does not guarantee success, and I am looking for a pond yacht that for sure works. meanwhile the paper kayak continues to heal, and the new skiff is ready to "plank" (1 piece plywood sides, cross planked bottom).

Jan 24, 2012 · This is undoubtably the source of the lines that the Newfound strip version is based on. In that same book is a similar 12' yacht tender from Lawleys, another bygone builder of fine craft. Again, this is a lapstrake boat, but if you are comfortable building a stripper boat with just a lines plan (with offsets), then this may be all you need. Bob
