Uncharted: The History of Hell's Bay Boatworks from Presslaunch Pictures on Vimeo. Hat tip to Louis Cahill for posting via twitter recently. And damn, you need to grab a cup of coffee or a cold one and invest 20 minutes in this story.

Happened to run across the Down Home Boatworks site this week; looks like a nifty custom boat + plans/kit shop out of PA. Proof that classically designed, impeccably crafted wooden drifters don’t only exist West of the Mississippi. Image is theirs.

Looks like a classic Tatman build out at the Port Townsend boat show… Via Wooden Boat People.

A damned nifty shot from river camp on the Upper Kootenay (the Canadian spelling of Kootenai in Montana). Via Wooden Boat People.

We looked at this damned nifty Briggs build coming out of her SLC shop a few weeks ago, here she is on her maiden voyage run. Hot damn. Via Wooden Boat People once again.
