Comment on Finding an answer to rough seas by Denis Gallant

Lawrence,
I’m in complete agreement with your article. After bulding 7 small boats over the last 15 years, I’ve learn a lot about boat designs, boat carpentry, sanding, epoxy, and about my personal traits.
I’m not likely to run out of small boats to build since I’m an avid canoeist, sea kayaker, and sailor. My passion is really about exploring nature, waterways and sea shores in parts of central and eastern Canada.

I’ll be monitoring how your Winter Wren comes together, since it’s on my list of larger shallow draft sailboat to built. The others 3 on my short list are B&B Princess 22 sharpie, Atkin Wild Onion, and Glen-L Fancy Free 21.

Thanks for the insights on my hobby work.
Regards,
Denis
ON and PEI, Canada

Comment on The Bravern fits right in with Bellevue’s architectural indifference by kitti lile

I couldn’t agree with you more; I have been known to frequent the Boston and SF NM and find them tasteful throwbacks to a time when luxury was not about conspicuous consumption. This one gave me the chills. I will never choose to walk around the Bravern “for the feel of it”; observing the lineup of retailers I conclude there would be no other reason to pay for the parking.

Comment on Perfectionism and the wooden boat by Steve

Being a perfectionist is a problem but like any problem it has a solution. You can always improve your attitude towards things and people by accepting the fact that nothing in this world is fully right or fully wrong. Each person, thing or event has both a postive and negative aspect. What we need to do is focus on the positive aspect and accept the negative aspect the way it is. Definately we need to work on imroving the negative aspect but only as much as it is in our capacity. Rest we can leave as destiny.

Do I detect a hint of FLW Cherokee red?
Great article, by the way.
