I have a few boats, and the Goat Island Skiff remains my favourite I think.

It’s a large little dinghy, capable of true performance, yet carries a payload so capably. In a few short years it’s become a modern classic.

Here it is with a crew of three, ably cruising down the river.

The International One-Design Class of 33′ 5″ racing sailboats are an excellent design for radio controlled model sailboating.

I now provide band sawn frames and parts for these wonderful model boats in many sizes. I no longer offer laser cut frames due to their costs.

Over 35 fiberglass hulls were distributed to model builders and
many scratch built wooden models have been built from plans
offered by Milton Thrasher.

Jim Longworth built his model from these plans after perfecting them
with Cad/Cam programs. He provided the layouts of the frames which
have been used to provide laser cut plywood frames in several sizes.

My 37 foot sailboat required an out of the water survey for insurance purposes. How often does the insurance need this kind of survey so I can plan for it during the next haul-out.

When you change Insurance comp> I'm going on 4 yrs on my 48 sportfish>Ask them but you might open up an issue & expence>



My 25th birthday is coming up really soon, and I was thinking of having a sailing party. That is, a party on a sailboat. I live in Vancouver, Canada so it's right by the ocean and the weather's been okay. I just don't know how to go about planning this. I don't want to spend the night on the boat, just a few hours floating around Vancouver, with some food and drinks. Also, I don't know how to sail. I'd need someone who will guide a tour around the city on sailboat or something. Does anyone know how I would start looking in to this (already searched online but not sure what to look up). Thanks for any help you can provide.

Where do most people sail at in Vancouver? You can call and ask if they do that kind of thing, and make sure you see how many people are going to plan this outing so you know how much you are going to spend, too.

I'm not rich and i do not want a dingy, i do plan to sail distances in open water{of course not for a few years} but i would like to do it in this same boat. my price range is 3-5k
I live in houston, when i say open water I really mean maybe 20 miles offshore at first…say a trip to biloxi. I understand i do need alot more practice to really go far. but my navigation skills are good because of my proffesion. what i don't want to do is purchase a lot of boats. i would like this one to last me maybe ten years for good practice until i can afford a much nicer boat that can take me further.

check out the papers and local sailing clubs you learn a lot by just looking but it does take time and a lot of patience especially if you are keen to sail. Volunteer as crew on racing boats. It is a lot of fun and you do learn. You do not need to have experience as the captain? will tell you what to do and sometimes yell—you are racing! Your price is low but OK for small boat so good luck—am in the same position so hope we are not competing



I'm currently making a boat cover for my sailboat. I'm using canvas because I have the material readily available to me. I'm concerned that my seams may leak. I plan on coating the cover with waterproofing spray to help shed water and leaves. The seams will be under stress and I'm looking for something other than the waterproofing in a can in which to seal the joined pieces and still afford protection from leaks. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Triple stitched, flat felled seams in canvas should not leak without any sealant. I have a cover from the below link for last NINE years in year-round sun & it is still in good condition. Cover was 6 or so years old at least when I got it but was winter stored under cover.

They may have example of the above. Also if the canvas is not UV protected you are wasting your time & energy.
Sell the canvas & buy the cover….
