A little info, the Miss Ann pictured above had her bow modified by an owner. Her original bow was much more blunt.

Super cool project Pete. Here are a couple of my favorite old yachts.

Deerleap
I used to go to Long Beach Marina and drool at Deerleap, here's her website:
http://www.mvdeerleap.com/ She's got the fantail, bow shape and cabin structure that embody the styling that fascinate me. I ride a 1948 Indian Chief m/c, love Stinson Reliant aircraft and have always been fascinated by 20's and 30's styling. Born too late to see or ride in a dirigible. |

poor boat looks like it was pulled out from the bottom of a swamp somewhere! id be surprised if he had a legitimate tittle sell it! that's..that right there is drift wood! lol! I can go down to the Richmond yacht basin and claim any number of decent boats right now for little more than the arrears dock fee! mien gott! the man is selling a ratty trailer and a serial number for around 0.5 of what it would cost me to commission and build a real steam launch! |

This would be a good place for any of you to post your favorite old boat pictures. They would always be great for reference especially to superstructures. I'm still looking for some bottom pics of any old yachts to get an idea how they were built below the water line. Pete

I found one picture that gives some idea how an old yacht looks below the water line. This picture is posted by Predreadnut and it shows the bottom pretty well. Need some more views though. Pete

Sept 12 -
Added some new Woodie links to the Links lists. Started a new Showcase / Show and Tell Thread. Made a couple of additions to the Housekeeping posts. |
Latest blog entry: Conversations 01: Preservation and a few...

I think this thread should be made a "sticky" so it doesn't get sucked up in the whirlpool of old threads and disappear. Craig has gone to a lot of trouble to gather all this info into one place and there IS a lot of info here that is extremely useful to those of us who like building the old Woodie boats.
There is a ton of info out there that still has to be added to this thread and another ton of pictures that will eventually come to light that will be important to future Woodie builders. Every year that goes by these yachts become more obscure and the information about them tends to slowly disappear. This thread will go a long way towards preserving this information and will be useful to book writers, researchers as well as modelers. It's already full of documentation on several of the "good old boats" and is bound to accumulate much more. We need a place to save all this documentation and a sticky would be ideal for that purpose. So in the interest of restoring the real boats and that of model makers in general I would like to request that the sticky be authorized by the administrators for the benefit of the hobby in general and the old Woodie yachts in particular. So what needs to be done? Pete |
