It's a very short mast on a small, but relatively heavy boat. I'd be tempted to make my mast building project short and simple by epoxying a pair...
All modern express cruisers. Every one of them.
Some more that have been amateur-built: http://www.bateau.com/products.php?cat=18, especially http://www.bateau.com/proddetail.php?prod=DE23...
Why not a flat-bottomed scow? It's not like it's going to be used in big waves or to cross oceans.
My great-uncle Will made it to 98 -- and he worked for the local paper until he passed away. By those standards, you still have 28 years to...
When I read the thread title my first thought was that I kept my canoes on a trailer, but that if someone really wants to keep them in a stable,...

I think by this point that you've given up form stability and have created a complex heavy structure that will have to rely on ballast to keep the...
You could probably do this in a 15-foot double-ender rowboat.
The best place to ask that question is on bateau2.com, which is the Bateau builder's forum. Jacques Mertens has crossed oceans under sail, and...
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock and the Center for Wooden Boats on south Lake Union are two other excellent places to...
Jet skis. Personal watercraft. Whatever they're called, they are a menace, but the season doesn't open until Oct. 1 and I only have one tag this...
EDITED: I SEE THAT YOU ARE IN "WASHINGTON STATE" NOT SEATTLE. FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT YOUR POST SAID "SEATTLE." SORRY ABOUT THAT -- JUST...

What's with the trend of putting circular ladders with no real handrails on big yachts? Imagine trying to go up, or even worse down, that ladder...
