Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast

Jolly Dolphin
Jack Zuraw noticed the news item about his handsome Chesapeake three-sail bateau named Jolly Dolphin in a recent post here at intheboatshed.net, and kindly sent us these photos. Thanks Jack!
PS – the Jolly Dolphin has been out and sailing for five years since its restoration. Take a look at www.thejollydolphin.com
This weblog includes a tool called Snap Shots – it’s the gizmo that opens little bubbles showing a preview of any link you might be thinking of going to. I like it because it shows me whether a particular link is likely to be of interest.
It’s quite easy to get rid of any unwanted bubble by clicking off the bubble’s area, but I do understand that the bubbles can irritate some people. If you’re one of them, please click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot bubble and opt-out for good!
PS – As of the 10th January 2008, I’ve turned them off, initially as an experiment. Let’s see how many people complain now that they’ve gone!

Almost all my life, I’ve held the view that anyone who can make a real clinker-built boat that doesn’t leak must be some sort of magician, and a post on the weblog A Shipwright in Training has rather confirmed my opinion. This bloke is a real woodworker and knows ten times what I know – and yet he says he feels humbled by a Whitehall. If he feels humbled, I’m much worse…
