    Awesome footage! I’m appreciating these old wooden works of art more and more. I’m over here in Minnesota. It’s curious if you get any calls from Mahogany Bay? As you can probably tell. It’s a little wood boat restoration shop out west of Minneapolis. Wondering if you’ve had to find the impossible part of a restoration. Maybe y’all did some horse trading? For all I know, you might have been doing business with each other for the last twenty years. I do t think that the wooden boat enthusiasts world is that big. You’d almost have to run across one another sooner or later.

    The Boat with the Reg number NY 3861 AS is "The Arc" and belongs to Jim from Grenell Island. The boat was built by Fry in Clayton more then 100 years ago. The Antique Boat Museum in Clayton own the sister boat "Shadow" which is on Display at the Doebler Storage. Body line drwawings of the Shadow can be obtained from the Museums Online archive . The video also shows Boldt's Castle and boat house. Boat Number 3 in the boat house is one of 19 built "number boats"

    Most old wooden boats are well cared for until they are handed over to the next generation of custodians. This process continues the heritage, and also keeps the knowledge and skills of boat building alive. Without doubt, the world is a nicer place with these wooden wonders on the water! 😉

Sure miss laying down on my slalom skis on her and wakeboarding to1o.

    Don't buy a wood boat.... I have owned many of them.. The biggest was a 106 schooner, (1918) and a 45 ft 1964 Huckins Fairform Flyer.. And have run many... Boatyards also will not haul old wooden boats...

    How about an article on Clearlake California, specifically upper lake. Thats where the racing was in Nor Cal. Actually guys came up from LA to race there. We used to stay in Soda Bay, but since the racing was either in Nice or Lakeport we eventually moved to Lakeport with the boats. When I was a kid we had exclusive use of Pigs beach. It was a great place to teach waterskiing. Sandy bottom shallow enough tha you would beach your boat 20 ft from shore and wade to the beach with your blankets and coolers. Being that the ski club was involved in racing it was important to have a good place to teach. Chuck Sterns learned to ski the same day thst I did. I was a late bloomer. Most kids in the club could ski by the time they started grammar school, 6 to 8 yrs old. I didn't learn until I was 12. I should say that I already knew how, just hadn't done it yet. At this point its been years and I am getting nostalgic.

    Poor guy had no chance deep water start with a modern thin slalom ski 😂 my dad use to ski behind a 1956 16’ Lyman I believe but it definitely has the old brown cover 35hp Johnson motor with skis he made himself which I still have. He was 180lb at that time and he would drag quite awhile before getting up. That was 1969 😇

    • @mahoganyandchromeshow
