December 2022

With this December 2022 Small Boats Magazine we present our 100^th issue. The North Shore Dory and the Salish Voyager, the subjects of our two boat profiles, are both old designs given new life: a dory built in 1900 had its lines taken for the building of a replica 80 years later, and New Jersey beach skiffs of a similar vintage reemerge as a fiberglass sail-and-oar cruiser. Two good friends with aging joints abandoned ambitious daily mileage goals and better appreciated British Columbia’s Broughton Archipelago. We review rudder hardware for small skiffs and folding food-prep knives for the galley. A sling-lift is an effective way to get small boats off trailers for maintenance. Two couples, alums of the same Texas university, met by chance and built a boat and a friendship.
