Chris Fishers Passamaquoddy Paddle
Blog reader Chris Fisher sent in pics of his paddle creation...his very first! His 65", yellow birch paddle is based on the diamond-shaped c1849 Passamaquoddy design described in Bark Canoes & Skin Boats of North America (Fig 72: Adney & Chappelle).

Fig 72 - Adney Paddles
Chris added his own interpretation by changing up the grip and adding a carved drip ring at the throat. The whole thing was then decorated and stained with oil and red ochre...nice!


Chris' beautiful paddle creation

It also turns out that Chris is planning to build a birch bark canoe and like myself, is starting out with a 3 foot model. Good luck on the build and here's hoping he'll send more pics of his creations for all of us to enjoy.

Chris Craft 35 Design 1657

Of the many projects that were developed for Chris Craft this one in particular is interesting in that it is the very first sailboat to be produced by them. How this came to be is simply that Cornelius Shields, the famous yachtsman, and his investment firm purchased a majority stake in Chris Craft Corporation. It has been said that Chris Craft was "as contemptuous of sailing yachts as Corny Shields was of Stinkpots. He didn't force them as the story goes, he just tried to convince them [to build sailboats]." The year was 1962. A total of 62 yachts were built to this design during the production run.

Here are the sail and arrangement plans.
