My first boat and first build MadFoxMakes Tue, 03/19/2024 - 13:34 "If you want something nice, build it yourself."

The boat sports a cedar hull, ash keel, mahogany se ..read more

Kvack Art_Haberland Wed, 10/11/2023 - 19:54 Named for feisty duck in Hagar the Horrible, this small boat is a Milgate Duck Punt. Built of plywood in the "stitch and glue" method, she was built from the free plans found online and launched at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival in St. Michaels MD on October 6. Painted in a rather vibrant "malarkey green" carrying tanbark sails with the distinctive duck shaped "DP" logo, she is a rather posh version of the punt with fore and aft decks and mahogany hardwoods used inside and out. I have tried to keep her true to her humble beginnings as a hunte ..read more
