A half-hull ready for delivery	... and another half-hull	Yet another half-hull

All half-hulls shown above were built to the scale of 1:24, or 1/2 inch to the foot.

Provided we have the lines of the boat itself, it is possible to produce a half-hull model of any modern sailboat in a matter of days.  This is the perfect gift for the sailboat owner, who can then spend the bleak days of winter looking at the model, and dreaming of getting his/her boat back onto the water! 

I also do half hull repairs, as seen in the before and after pictures below:

The tug half-model shown below was built from a small drawing in "Cruising Yachts" by Jay Benford.  It is not built to any specific scale, but is simply meant as a decoration for a child's bedroom:

Tugboats are cute!

This one's for my grand-daughter's bedroom - she's a lot cuter than the boat!

Wyatt's in there too!

Two more just finished......

A serious looking tug, the C F Lawrence	Jack's got one too!

 And another...

Flag is code letter A - pity color doesn't go with boat!

And probably the last three - I'm thinking of retiring...

Sam's tugboat - code flag S	Nico's tugboat - got the winner's flag!	Zachary's tugboat - code flag Z

 Well, retirement has been delayed.....

Every child's (especially grandchild's) bedroom needs one of these.  You choose the colors, and I will build it for you for $175 all in.

And now, the Commodore's Hull and a Half...

In what is believed to be a first on Long Island Sound, the Past Commodore of Norwalk Yacht Club sails a multihull.  In fact, a bright yellow Corsair 31R trimaran.  Here is my hull-and-a-half, for the club's wall of fame:
