My name is Diane Stewart and I am looking for a wooden dory made by Lowell Boat Shop of Massachusetts. My grandfather Fred Tarbox worked there for  many years and I would love to find one of the dory’s. Condition does not matter. How do I post such a request on our web site?

 The great guys at the boat shop gave me a copy of the Wooden Boat magazine from May/June 1992 with their story and Fred’s picture in it. There is one of the dory’s at the Adirondack Museum upstate New York and they row folks around their pond it in. Thank you Diane Stewart  rainbowsendcamping@hotmail.com

4. Fleetwood lapstrake skiff built by Fred Garrison:    I am looking for a Fleetwood lapstrake skiff built by Fred Garrison at Lemon Creek on Staten Island, NY.   I have owned two in the past. Fred built these mahogany skiffs ( outboards and inboards) in the 1950s thru 1960s, I believe. Would appreciate any info about whereabouts of one of these boats. Usually 17feet to 24 feet.   Thanks a lot.  Brian  917 699 8044

I am looking for information on any of the A.R.True built boats.  The were built along the Merrimac

River in Amesbury Ma.  My understanding is that he built  19’, 23’ and 27’ wooden sailboats known as True Rockets.  I have 1 of 4 (local lore) 27’ that were built.  Local lore also says that the lines of these sailboats were taken from the Herreshoff 22’ Prudence – but the early one – centerboard.  Any information or contacts would be appreciated- jjling@comcast.net

8.  15' 8" sailboat 1973 in Boynton Beach, built by Arthur C. White.

I picked up a 15' 8" sailboat over eBay last weekend. It was built in 1973 in Boynton Beach, Florida, by a man named Arthur C. White. The original registry shows the boat as being home built. Contacting the people I bought it from didn't help very much. The boat's construction looks very detailed (lots of compound bevels everywhere), which leads me to believe it was a class boat or a one design boat built by this man.
Boat is flat-bottomed and has a very large centerboard trunk. The bow is curved, with a steel protective band. The rudder is a solid one-piece design. The rig is a large leg of mutton sail laced to the mast.
If you could help me at all in finding out more about this boat as I restore it, that would be awesome.

Thanks,
