New wooden boat website
I have had such a struggle learning to build a website that I had to tell you guys about it. Hope no one is offended. Doing the site was, for the most part, harder than designing or building the stuff that is on it. One thing is for certain, it was nowhere near the enjoyment of building boats. A lot of satisfaction to get it on the web though.

New site
Nice work Tom!!

I can share in your struggle as I'm just about to turn my own web creation loose and I'm having endless, personal haggles over all the details to make it work correctly.

Congratulations and I hope it becomes a very nice success for you and your design work.

Great site! Here's something to keep you awake at nights pondering..I have a wheel on my mouse and when I roll it to move the page up or down on your site, when the page moves there is an almost inaudible tone that goes up or down the scale as the page goes up or down. Oriental - Been 'toothin' lately? Sam

Very nice site. I enjoyed your written description of the hull development process for LIZ ,and I share your enthusiasm for a moderate speed range, fuel-efficient hull form. Good luck.

Congratulations for the new site, Tom. I know about the hard work and countless hours (Just have a look at my 'signature' sites).
And congratulations for your designs too!

Very nice Guillermo,

I thought I was in a time warp until I remembered that you Europeans do your days and dates backwards You could use my boats for dinghys on some of those boats.
