#Wooden runabout boats for sale manual
The manual describes such nuance of technique, I feel like an expert, despite limited experience with epoxy and glass. The money spent was worth it, just to have "taken the class" on working with epoxy, and stitch and glue boat building, getting a sweet boat at the end is of course a nice bonus. I would like to reiterate one point as far as the value is concerned: I've yet to float in my boat, but I'm confident it will work as designed. This is what one PT 11 builder wrote about the kit: Third, building a PT 11 is like taking a master class in epoxy skills. The feedback over the years, however, is that the investment is worth every penny, both in gaining a home-built dinghy of peerless performance, and in the (often startling) resale value of the finished product. Second, a kit with the PT 11's level of detail is expensive. Quick-and-dirty wood butchers aren't going to enjoy the process, or reap the PT 11 design's potential. And these details are lucidly and logically presented in the assembly manual included with the kit. First, assembling a small wooden boat with this level of performance and sophistication requires a degree of patient craftsmanship, and a willingness to pay attention to the details. Sailing component "kits" do not require any assembly they arrive ready to rig right out of the box. We note that all of the elegant custom kit components and hardware-part of the special sauce that elevates the PT 11 above nesting dinghies that came before-will continue to be manufactured by PT Watercraft in Port Townsend, Washington. (John and Russell last collaborated on Madness, John's 31-foot Pacific Proa.)ĬLC is now producing PT 11 kits and options. Looking to scale their business, in 2020 Russell and Ashlyn began working with John Harris and CLC to help with manufacturing and distribution of the intricate-and intricately clever-PT 11 kit.
What features make the PT 11 special? Read descriptions, notes, reviews, and much more at PT Watercraft's website. PT Watercraft soon had as many orders for kits as they could handle, and perhaps more. Performance is revelatory under both oar and sail. Thanks to an ingenius connective scheme, the PT 11 can be assembled on the water. The non-nesting version of the PT11, the PT Spear, will be available from CLC in 2023. Russell Brown is a wunderkind boatbuilder, designer, and sailor with an international reputation for highly polished and thoughtfully executed wooden boats. Thus the world took notice when Russell and Ashlyn founded a kit boat company, PT Watercraft, and released a nesting dinghy that was several orders of magnitude better than anything that had been available before. The PT 11 is not a new design, having enjoyed a decade of very careful and incremental development by Russell and Ashlyn Brown. We're delighted to welcome PT Watercraft and the PT 11 Nesting Dinghy to Chesapeake Light Craft's stable of sophisticated and capable small boats.
