SOME OF OUR RECENT WORKS

 Traditional sharpie built in a plywood core construction on frame, glued and sealed with epoxy that will assure a longevity equal to, if not superior, to a fiberglass boat.  A truly appropriate technology: plywood core construction combined with the beauty of wood and with the low-maintenance characteristics of fiberglass.

      

 A research on this type of boat turned up information (and a sketch) in Howard Chapelle's: The National Watercraft Collection.  The particular type is a sharpie fishing smack used in the U.S. on the Chesapeake Bay and southward waters in the late Nineteenth century.

 Safe and exciting to sail, the hulls will easily surf off and beyond hull speed. The Sharpie is a surprisingly stiff, weatherly and fast boat. In our sharpie, a high attention was reserved on all details and trims and, moreover, all decorations are integral with the structure.

     

With nice interiors suitable for a small family, some of the advantages of this kind of boat are that it gives easy and fast sailing joined with the possibility of beaching thanks to the small, deep and retractable centerboard.  Last but not least, it has the great advantage of being easily trailed. A boat drawn and built thinking of our gulf islands.
