Gentlemen, Hello again. There has been a posting on my pre-war lapstrake I-14, WHIRLY. It can be found at: http://cbifda.blogspot.com/ Any...
Not a remarkable example. Wondered about the design "creds" of McAlary, who apparently has minimal work recorded. What about at least a jib with a...
Hello again, PAR. The dogs will be the solution for me. Thanks. Also on my table, is a rescued burn boat in the form of a McAlary "Arrowhead"...

Recently acquired, approximately 1937 I-14, in very good condition. I don't want to change anything and would like to be accurate on replacement...
Arrowhead rescue "Arrowhead"... was drawn by Charles H. McAlary of Newport Beach, CA. Arrowhead is a 3/4 sloop rigged, 21' x 5'11" centerboarder...
