Hull has been sheathed with epoxy and fiberglass cloth, primed, and painted with a custom mixed Epifanes 2-part poly urethane paint. Strip planked side decks and flotation have been installed , custom console is modeled, Yeti cooler in place.
Here's the finished boat , out in Wellfleet Harbor. More photos on the O ld Wharf Facebook page. This is the first Swampscott dory, built in for Dr. I built another one, 7, for their son in Here is a detail shot of the last Swampscott I built- locust stem and breasthook , Cedar topsides planking, Marine ply garboards, copper riveted, Oak rub rails. Garboard of the D in place. This light weight racing boat has no timber stem, so the stem jig keeps it all lined up.
All painted up in Dutch orange, ready for oarlocks and sliding seat. The Drake 19 is a cruising row boat designed by Clint Chase. Here the stems and keel have been fabricated and installed in the building jig, and the garboards have been fit and fastened. My name is Walter Baron. I run the one-man boat shop you see on these web pages. I build boats using wood as the main structural material, one at a time, in my shop in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod.
Most of my boats are based on traditional designs that have stood the test of time and sea. They are not the fastest or glossiest boats on the waterfront. They are comfortable and efficient, gaining character and patina with use, age, and care.
In this age of rising fuel costs I would like to emphasize the advantages of wood boats. Most wood boats, especially those built with modern composite wood-epoxy-fiberglass construction, are much lighter than GRP Glass-Reinforced Plastic boats. This means that a boat of a given size can be powered with a smaller motor to produce the same performance.
There are many designs, both traditional and modern, that fall into this category. Another advantage of wood boats is that the main structural material, wood, is a renewable resource. Trees still grow, unlike oil, which is a finite resource. The use of nonrenewable materials, such as epoxy adhesives and coatings add to the longevity of a boat and reduce maintenance.
Added benefits include the beauty of wood, and the increased comfort due to wood's ability to absorb vibration. I will be researching advanced methods of wood construction as they become available. Since this original post I have built a Sinne and a Savo , both designed by Ruud Van Veelan, an 18' work skiff designed by me 30 years ago or so,, and a 20' LYS, and am working on another Nauset Marsh Skiff , as of October Photos of this build will be posted in the future.
After the dory, I did some restorations-2 duck boats, a Sailfish, and a Swampscott dory. Published a couple of slide shows on the duck boat jobs-on the Portfolio page �. Row, sail, or power, custom design or stock plan, contact me to discuss and build a boat suited to your particular needs. Lots of new info is posted on Old Wharf's Facebook page , so click on the little f's you may see on these pages.
And there have been a few built from those plans, check them out! A Blast from the Past! Her ex husband found it and sent it to her, who sent it to me. At that time I was building plywood prams, and selling 6 in the spring to the Goose Hummock Shop in Orleans. This was a pretty good order at that time, plus I also sold a few myself.
I built about 50 of those prams, which I designed. I built 2 a week, not bad money in those days. At my original shop on Bank St. On lighter note, Tyler Fields has finished the first part of a video he and Woody Metzger started over a year ago, asking several local boat builders and marine related craftsmen 4 questions :. Tyler finished the response to the first question, and here is the link to the YouTube video.
It was a lot of fun making this video, and I am honored to be one of the chosen craftsmen. The Town of Wellfleet has cancelled all events on Town Property for the rest of , so the 8th Annual Wellfleet Rowing Rendezvous has been postponed to If things change, I will let you know.

You may need an account to listen directly from this page. Check them out on the Boats For Sale page. Here is a link to my Facebook page. Also, I will be posting some photos of an Atlantic 17 rowing craft, designed by Jon Persson ,that I am building for myself! This series of photos will be posted on the On Rowing page.
Check out the new hats in the Shop Store!! It shows some construction photos, and some of the boat in the water. They did a nice job of finishing the boat out. It was a beautiful day, with about people, and 21 boats. This knife is one of the best folding knives for use on small boats in salt water. The blade is made from H1 non rusting steel, and is available in plain or serrated edge. Hearty Congratulations to Leigh and Dameon for this amazing feat.
Here is the link to the latest post. Lots of posts on the Facebook page �. I think they are doing great! Check out this post of them rowing �. Here is a link to the latest post. Stage 2 of the Race starts June 6, at 12 noon. Update on the Race To Alaska. The Savo that I built for the race has been named Mursu, which is Finnish for walrus.
The owners have finished the boat, including decking the compartments fore and aft, fitting hatches, adding the sliding seat rig, making oars, paint, etc, etc. They have planned, bought and packed their food and gear. The boat is well on its way to Port Townsend, the start of the race. They have been updating their web site , here is a link to the most recent post. Follow on the tracker on the Race web site. The Race starts in less than 3 days, June 3 at 5 AM!
Here are a couple of photos of the Spring Rendezvous held this past week-end. The weather was great, we had about boats, and a lot of good people rowing them. Final photos are up on the Facebook page.
Here is a link to their web page, Rowing to Wild. A couple of photos are below. Walter, Thank you for such I wonderfull set of skiff plans.
I grew up fishing Jersey lobster and have commercially fished both east and west coasts. Along with 8 years in Alaska.
Having retired from commercial fishing 11 years ago and moving to the Midwest, I still always wanted to build a skiff from scratch.
I get many compliments on what nice lines this simple skiff has!!! It was a wonderfull and fulfilling project! Next project is another Savo D , for the same people who own the first one. This boat will be a little different, the plan is to use it for long distance expedition style rowing. So it will be reinforced in several ways - exert frames, abrasion protection, decks bow and stern for storage and flotation, etc.
They have already rowed the Maine Island Trail in the original Norrpa, here is a link to a story about the row. So they have some experience rowing distances, this should be an interesting boat. The finished boat ready to go out the door. Options include long stem and stern posts, oak framing, side decks and rub rails, foredeck, locust coaming, pine floorboards.
I have started a build album on Facebook �. Scroll down to the bottom. Check out the photo album of the recently completed Nauset Marsh Skiff.
