A journal of boating history and boats in contemporary culture, from the Curator of Watercraft

An article I wrote has come out in the new issue (220) of WoodenBoat magazine, on newsstands now, or at your doorstep. In which I research, work on, and race a class of powerboats from 1910. The “Number Boats,” first one-design racing class for motor boats, native to the Thousand Islands of New York State. Good stuff, I think. WoodenBoat has been an authoritative source for information on classic watercraft since the 1970s, and I’m glad to have been included. 

(I was in WB once before, actually, in an article on my father Everett, where I can be seen in a baby sling on his back as he works on an Adirondack Guideboat in issue 65. But this time I got paid.)

Not a subscriber? You can read the article (and others, I suppose) for free if you download the WoodenBoat App for iPhone or iPad. Or if you would just like to skim the topic, see these four previous posts
