 ROWING VERSION AS A TENDER

SPARTINA  10'9" 1847 NEW HAVEN SHARPIE

SPARTINA was carved by Willets Ansel from old pictures and drawings that he researched at Mystic Maritime Museum. Greg Rossel took off the lines and made the drawings. Woodenboat School in Brooklin, ME http://www.thewoodenboatschool.com/ offered a building course for a couple of years. Janie and I took the course from Greg and built this boat. It was displayed at the Woodenboat Show in Rockland, Me in July, 2003.

She rows very well, and is very stable. An excellent boat for most any purpose, one that would be great for the grandkids' first boat.

She is constructed of Northern White and Atlantic Cedar, White Oak Frames and Keel, Spruce Thwarts and Mahogany Transom and Coaming. Rub rails are White Oak. Fasteners are all Silicon Bronze.

Pricing

SPARTINA is offered at $1,000 with oars FOB Portland, ME.

PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING OTHER BOATS ALSO. SEE " WHAT'S HAPPENIN' " TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER BOATS BEING CONSTRUCTED. THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS, IT IS MY EXPRESSION OF FUNCTIONAL ART.  I HAVE TO SELL THEM TO BE ABLE TO BUILD MORE.

GYPSY is a John Hartsock designed Cosine Wherry with lots of variations. The first; Cove and Bead construction. I milled my own lumber from Atlantic Cedar. No staple holes anywhere. The 3/8" knife edge stem blends into 1/2" about 6" into the keel. Note the Cherry seat posts, quarter knees, wale spacers, breasthook and thwart edges. Thwart knees are laminated ash. Watertight compartments are installed fore and aft for extra flotation. The shear has been goosed a bit and the thwarts follow the shear. She glides across the water! Gypsy is SOLD

Anyone want to try it? You can have my molds for $200  local pickup only ( The molds have clamping cleats and are faired. Bases included, but not strongback. (Two 16' 2x8's). Also, a mahogany transom is roughed out.
