A welcome diversion
Two classics—an Adirondack Guideboat built strip-planked from a Newfound Woodworks kit, and the classic Sunfish sailboat—are featured in this month’s Boat Profiles. An iconic hat from Tilley and a three-part restorative teak cleaner feature in our Product Review pages, while a simple sewing project that brings inexpensive additional sail area to any boat is described in our Technique feature. A solo sailor returns to the Texas 200 for a second time, looking for adventure and hoping to stay dry, and the former owner of a Brazilian yacht-yard that built production-line modern classics indulges his inner craftsman to build a unique electric-powered harbor launch in his home shop. Our editor takes a cast-off Bolger pirogue under his wing.
