La BaronessaThis 195 aluminum displacement motoryacht was launched by Palmer Johnson in 1999. The styling and interior design was developed by the design firm Nuvolari Lenard of Italy. Naval architecture and structural engineering was by Sparkman & Stephens. The boat is unusual as she is all aluminum, where most yachts of this class are of steel or built with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. The boat was extensively tank tested including different sea states and at anchor to optimize running gear and appendages to minimize roll.
Shes a behemoth. The boat displaces 1,536,000 lbs when fully laden. By comparison the maximum take-off weight of a Boeing 747 is 735,000 lbs.
The boat is powered by twin Caterpillar 5212B diesel engines developing 1,950hp each driving controllable pitch propellers. Top speed is 17 knots. The boat carries an astounding 42,000 gallons of fuel which equates to a range of 14,000 nautical miles at an endurance speed of 10.5 knots. Just to put things into perspective, a typical large tanker truck as seen on U.S. roads carries 9,000 gallons. Thats almost 5 trucks showing up at the dock for a refueling.
Master Stateroom
Main SalonThe boat has a creative split level design. The interior is finished in glossy ebony and lacewood.

Heres an interesting mystery. This little yawl was designed for the same owner as Werdna (design #58), the yawl built in 1935 by Albert Lemos of Rhode Island, a Mr. Charles Jenckes. He must have been the second owner of Werdna, and he renamed her Vindsida. I cant understand why he would have us design a boat so similar to his existing boat, only slightly smaller. #368 has a waterline length of 29-0". This boat was never built.

Now that Deer Isle Koster kits are shipping and and I have moved shop back to the home based-shop, I am enjoying some new found time to carry on with the newest, refined version of the Deblois Street Dory.
The changes are mainly in the lining off of the hull and the fact that the hull is now modeled in 3D CAD allowing for precut parts to be made and a lot of tweaking to get the lines "eye sweet".
The DSD was featured in the latest Maine Island Trail newsletter and there may be a follow up article this winter after I get started on this build.
I am very pleased with how she is coming out! What do you think?

One-Off Cybele in Wood - Swan 36 Prototype
Built by Molich of Denmark
Built by Molich of Denmark
Design #1710 has to be the most utilized design in our collection. Numerous one-offs were built of wood as well as production models from various builders in fiberglass. The Gaia Class was built by the famous Italian builder Benello, building 19 boats to the design.
Additional boats were also built to this design with slight variations, such as the Sigma 36 Class (built by Cheoy Lee), Rumbuster and many more in both wood and fiberglass. In all I believe 60 boats were built to this design with slight variations, without counting the entire Swan 36 production run of 90 boats delivered.
Heres a fairly complete list of boats.
Regarding Swan, first a little background. The Swan 36 was the very first model for Nautor. Heres the story about the start of Nautor by the founder, Pekka Kostenkyla, in his own words.
How the Swans Were Born
by Pekka Koskenkyla
Founder of Nautors Swan
by Pekka Koskenkyla
Founder of Nautors Swan
It all started as a hobby. I grew up on the coast (Helsinki) and I have always had or wanted to have boats. My first vessel was a canoe, which I built myself in the evenings after school at the age of 14. In fact next year I built five of them for sale. Then nothing much happened in my boat building career for ten years because of school and university, where I majored in economics.
After graduation I wanted to have my own boat, so I started to build a wooden sailing boat of 11-meters. I worked in the evenings and weekends in my father-in-laws shed in Pietarsaari, where I had a job selling paper sacs. It took about 2 years to finish the boat and when it was almost complete a dentist from Helsinki wanted to buy it. I gave him a, what I thought, was a high price and he agreed. So I thought that boat building looked like an easy way to make money doing what I liked. I decided to start a yard.
The first step was to find a name and get drawings. The fact that I happened to think of SWAN was lucky, because I believe that this name and the connotations it implies was important for the success of the company. The other decision, which also turned out to be right and even more crucial to our success, was to choose S&S as designers.
My first thought had been to use the drawings of the boat that I was building, especially as it was just the right size I was looking for. An important factor in the overall length of the boat that I wanted to build was that any boats over 11-meters in LOA were exempt from VAT tax. This was of course a government concession made for the commercial fishermen and nobody had thought of yachts, because pleasure craft in Finland at the time were so small. A few years later this loophole was plugged.
The first boat that I built was designed by a local amateur naval architect and full time teacher of mathematics, Eivind Still. He was naturally disappointed, when I decided not to use his drawings, but Still later became quite well-known in Scandinavia with the many boats that he later designed. At the time I was so ignorant about this business and sailboats in general, that I did not know any yacht designers - not even the most famous. Therefore I went to the local yacht club in Pietarsaari and asked, who was the best designer in the world. I was told that it was Sparkman & Stephens.
I found their address from an old yachting magazine and wrote to the company to tell them, that I needed drawings of a sailboat about 11-12 meters long. No reply! That really was not so surprising, because I did not even have letterheads, let alone a company. I waited some more and then telephoned to their office in New York. I got Rod Stephens on the phone and he told me that by coincidence he was coming to Finland in a couple of weeks to inspect a wooden sailboat being built at the time. He said we could meet. Later I got a message from his client in Finland that he could see me at 6 oclock in his hotel room in Helsinki. However I was not sure if that was in the morning or the evening and I could not reach Rod to verify, so I decided not to take a risk and went to his hotel at 6 AM. He was there waiting for me. He must have been impressed by my enthusiasm, because that was all I had to show for.
In any case, he gave me the drawings of a 36 feet sloop, which was to be marketed as the SWAN 36. Later he told me that they had been waiting for years for somebody to approach them to design a production boat in fiberglass, but I was in fact the first one to do so. A couple of years later a lot of builders were knocking on their door, but S&S were very loyal to us and did not give out competing designs. The drawings I received from Rod were of a boat already built in wood.
Later I have sometimes thought how was it possible that I got those drawings. Maybe Rod did not take me very seriously after all? When I came back to Pietarsaari I needed a suitable space in a hurry. Outside the town, far from the sea, there was an old brick building, which had been used to process hides (skins). It was empty and I was able to rent it at a very low rate. It needed some modifications like a much bigger door and heating etc., but we had a place to start. I appointed my first wifes uncle as a foreman and we started to hire people.
As I had already built one boat in the area I knew that there were many skillful joiners in the surrounding area of Pietarsaari. Many of them were part time farmers and eager to take a full time job, because their farms were so small that they could not sup-port them. In fact these people were busy only at harvest time during the summer. Many of these people had a small woodworking shop at home and they had been doing doors, window frames and furniture etc. to supplement their income.
These activities were, however, getting uneconomical, because more and more factories were producing these items on a mass production basis and thereby suppressing prices. The other category of workers I was able to hire were small individual boat builders. These were typically also small farmers or sometimes fishermen, who could not fish or farm during the winter because of ice and snow. Their boat building operation was family business, and most of them built wooden fishing boats, but there were some, notably the Branbacka family, who built pleasure boats to customers orders.
If we go back to the history of Pietarsaari and the surrounding counties we find that this area was once one of the main ship building areas in Scandinavia. This was the era of wooden sailing ships during the time when Finland was part of Sweden. These mostly commercial vessels were built in amazing numbers and with amazing speed. In the Pietarsaari Museum there is more information about all this. In fact a few years ago they even built one vessel to these old drawings on a voluntary basis.
I have gone into all the above in more detail, because it is important to understand that the quality of the workers and their skills in the counties around Pietarsaari is something very special. If I had not had access to these kinds of people we would have failed, especially considering my lack of experience in business in general and running a yard in particular. Fortunately there was no shortage of these highly skilled and motivated people in the area.
We were like a family and run the business as such. One could either say that we had perfect industrial relations or that none of us had ever even heard about such a thing. There was one episode that comes to mind, when I think about the loyalty of our workers at that time. My very first delivery of the SWAN 36 was about to happen. This was the only wooden SWAN ever built. It was built in mahogany. The reason was that I thought we would save money this way, because a fiberglass mold needs a wooden plug and rather than build a plug and then destroy it, we decided take the mold off a real boat that could be sold. All went well except that when the hull mold was being made it cracked the planking of the wooden hull, because when the fiberglass and resin mixture hardens, it becomes very warm, which again dries the wooden hull underneath. These small cracks were repaired, but on a varnished surface they could still be seen.
My customer, a businessman from Helsinki, demanded a discount of his boat because of this. My situation, however, was very simple. If I did not immediately get the foil price in order to pay back a bank loan I would go broke. The customer did not want to hear. He insisted. He even ordered a trucking company to come and take the boat away from the yard. When he and his men with the big truck and the crane came, my men decided to stop the operation by physically blocking entry into the yard. As I had more men and they seemed to be more eager for a fight, my customer decided to pay in full.
The first year we built four boats, the wooden one, which we used for a plug and three fiberglass SWAN 36s. I was able to sell all of them at a very early stage. The most important factor for this initial success was not so much my honest looking face or the fantastic workforce we had, because we had nothing to show. It was the name and reputation of Sparkman & Stephens. It is difficult to understand now how superior in reputation they were compared to other yacht designers. There was only one best choice then. The name and reputation of S&S was built on the winning boats of their design in all ocean racing from the Americas Cup, One Ton Cup, Admirals Cup, Cowes week etc. Most of the winners in these races were designed by S&S.
Then came Nautor from Finland, the first to produce S&S designed boats not only in series at a very reasonable price, but also in a new and stronger material than wood. On the top of that, the SWANs were lighter as well, and therefore had a better chance of winning races. Just to broaden the appeal to more potential buyers my sales argument was that because it was built of a lighter material we can afford to make the boat with a nice wooden interior and therefore appealing as a nice family cruising boat as well as a racing boat. This was the argument the racing minded sailor needed to convince his wife. The racing in those days was not as competitive, or rather, the boats were not as extreme racing machines as they are today, so it was in fact possible to win big time with a SWAN that looked like a family cruising boat with heavy teak interior.

One with the quickest method of fishing boat some sort of novice vessel designer can start off may be a small fire wood boat.Small wooden fishing boat ideas are generally required to carry out even this particular uncomplicated project.
Many elements should go on the patterns in addition to plans of your smaller picket boat. Some issues its important to always remember are:
WOOD TYPE
Most apply marine plywood, in addition decay resistant lumber including cedar in addition to oaks widely-used to help build that hull. Wood are good to use for the reason that it cheap, readily accessible anywhere, bouyant and any newbie in fishing boat creating can potentially assist wood.
It is good for this specific motive which almost any one using a good practical tiny wooden vessel package and simple woodworking knowledge could can certainly develop a b oat.
BUILDING PROCESS
The more widespread technique to create a little wooden cruiser usually are ply on frame construction. It is straightforward to perform as well as quickest route to summarize using these services is always that you could need to make a fishing boat body into which will plywood panels will probably be fixed to.
Another and much more better construction method will be stitch plus glue procedure associated with construction. In this particular method, people should structure this plywood into predefined measurements and shapes in line with its parts. Then you need to be able to set up everything along by way of sewing them with copper line as well as utilizing epoxy to to glue in addition to populate the particular seams. There can be absolutely no requirement a style as well as the framework is actually strengthened having a fibergl ass.
DESIGN
The design in the vessel depends mainly for the objective with regard to you choose to built the boat. A smaller wooden motorboat generally is a dory, dinghy or perhaps a skiff and you can easily outfit the item intended for rowing, sailing, cruising, doing some fishing as well as hunting purposes.
The thing will be there are a quite workable modest fire wood cruiser ideas ahead of starting up thebuilding process. With a great motorboat plan, you can apply at a distance while using frustration plus errors that is normally linked to ship building. That is usually why it truly is crucial for you to find on your own a compact fire wood blueprints you are able to very easily follow.
Personally, I identified an incredibly precise boat plans which usually I find a breeze to fully grasp sufficient reason for photos which results in next to nothing to help this imagination. You might investigate it here:

Chris Schwarz, owner of Lost Art Press and Editor-at-large of Popular Woodworking magazine, has a bit of a thing for leg vices. Though he calls them vises. Its a murican thing.
Last night after a lovely day out with our nephew in Greenwich I sent Chris a picture of the carpenters vice we saw on the Cutty Sark.
This morning its in a blog post on Popular Woodworkings website.
It used to take that vice weeks to cross the Atlantic, now its dashing back and forth shaking its unusual guide mechanism across the world.
Its such a bad picture Im not even going to post it here but he insisted on giving a credit. Its nice to be able to help someone from whom Ive learnt so much. I will, however post some photos of the ship. Which is amazing. I dont really like expensive restorations of rotting hulks that sit in dry dock and gather dust; boats should sail. The Cutty Sark exhibition is, however, astonishing. Not least because the boat seems to float over the heads of the people sitting in the cafe.
Its beautiful, educational and a masterpiece of engineering. Twice.
The restorers (or preservers I should say, since the ship wont work in its intended function) have tried to use a lot of the original material. Where they needed to add material theyve highlighted it. Original steel frames are white, new steel reinforcement is grey. Its less obvious in the wood work.
Much of the bright work is original and each restoration has added its own set of dutchmen, or patches, let in to the original, massive timbers. This has created a wonderful palimpsest that is testament to the longevity of our domestic hardwoods, the skill of the craftsmen and women who worked on the ship and the potential of wooden vessels to be maintained and repaired.
And that brings me back to the purpose of the blog: building a wooden boat. Little progress to report, Im afraid. Im building a bench at the moment. Chris Schwarz in one of his two (how much is there to say?) books on building workbenches says that a bench should have neither an apron nor a tool tray. Mine will have both. But then he also says "Disobey me!" so Ive taken him at his word. Im chopping mortices for the legs at the moment. Steve Branam has an excellent guide to building this bench, better even than Roy Underhills original description, so I wont be posting it here - its already done.

Flag Etiquette In Recreational Boating
Flag etiquette, has its foundation within the historical maritime traditions and codes of the merchant ships and navies on the planet. It can be quite intricate and involved, but it is greater than most recreational boaters have to know. A full immersion within the steeped conventions on the use of flags on the high seas is hardly ever required in close selection of a coastal marina or anchorage.
I never believe Im alone when I see the confusion that nonetheless exists exactly where this tradition in recreational boating is concerned. What ever the explanation, boaters may possibly need a little clarification in view from the vagaries around the subject. To become positive, youll find a myriad of types of maritime flags with distinguishing marks and shapes, but in this discussion Ill narrow the field to recreational boats, energy and sail, and focus around the basic guidelines of flag placement.
THE ENSIGN
One of the most senior position for a flag on a vessel is at its stern. It was customary throughout the Roman Empire for Roman ships to carry small religious statues or puppis on the aft deck section of a ship; a sacred spot reserved for worship. You have probably heard the term "poop deck" which is the deck that types the roof of a cabin built within the rear part from the superstructure of a ship at its stern. The stern became regarded as a place of authority and respect within the generations that followed; it was where the captains quarters could be identified. It continues to become a place of honor on a vessel to this day and it is where the national flag or derivative of it may be proudly displayed.
The ensign, the national colors, is rectangular in style, frequently a 1:2 or 3:5 ratio of width to length. It must be flown from a staff off the stern unless it interferes using the operation on the vessel like a boom that extends more than the stern. Should this be the case it can be flown from a backstay from the aftermost mast, at the peak from the gaff* or the leech** of an aftermost sail. (see terminology below)
The ensign ought to be flown, in accordance with tradition, among 8:00 a.m. and sunset. If you strategy to leave your boat and dont anticipate to return before sunset you need to take it down; the ensign ought to in no way be flown at night.
Several examples of ensigns flown within the western hemisphere are the following:
The Usa: The 50-star "Old Glory", the Stars and Stripes or the U.S. Yacht Ensign, a fouled anchor over a circle of 13 stars.
The United kingdom: The "Union Jack", the national flag, with its 3 superimposed red and white crosses on a blue background is reserved for warships. The "Red Ensign", the flag of less engaging maritime traditions, is the ensign for recreational boaters. Its a red flag with the "Union Jack" displayed in the upper left quadrant.
Canada: The Maple Leaf, the national flag, is the preferred ensign for all Canadian vessels. It consists of two vertical bands of red having a red maple leaf centered and emblazoned on a white background
THE BURGEE
The burgee is usually triangular in shape, your standard pennant, adorned with the distinguishing traits in the yacht club or boating organization it represents. The burgee takes the next most senior position on a vessel, usually the key masthead or starboard spreader or backstays. Inside a powerboat, the burgee flies off a quick staff around the bow. It may be flown each even though underway and at anchor.
THE COURTESY FLAG
Courtesy flags are typically flown in foreign waters or in waters in which youre a guest; they are a token of respect. On a sailboat its flown around the boats starboard spreader. If your burgee is around the starboard spreader youll be able to move it for the masthead. Inside a powerboat its displayed on a bow employees displacing the burgee which could possibly be placed around the portside spreader or antenna.
FLAG DIMENSIONS
The rule to stick to for any proper size ensign is 1 inch for each and every foot of overall boat length (LOA). So, in case your boat is 30 feet in length your ensign ought to be a minimum of 30 inches lengthy. If it really is not, the rule is usually to round up to the following offered size. All other flags: burgees, courtesies and other people ought to be roughly 1/2 to 5/8 inch for every single foot of overall boat length (LOA). So if your boat is 30 feet in length, your flag should be 15-19 inches long. For recreational boaters well preserve it simple: all flags should be about 1/2 the size on the ensign.
That is it. Fairly simple, huh? Flag etiquette isnt as difficult as several make it out to become. Being aware of what flag is what and what flag goes where is all you must know. Bear in mind, national colors towards the stern, the most essential spot on a boat with burgees and courtesy flags to starboard for sailors, for the bow for power. Any inquiries?
Terminology (see asterisks above):
*Gaff: the outer finish from the spar(a sailing ships mast, boom or yard) extending aft in the principal mast.
**Leech: The vertical back edge of a sail.
