I built Steve Redmond's design, "Elver", in 1992. This is a series of clips showing highlights of the construction. It is a 20' Canoe Yawl. The hull has a plywood bottom, and strip planked, western red cedar topsides. The spars are shaped from douglas fir for the main mast, and spruce for the mizzen and other spars.
Assorted clips from the September 30th, 2007 Connecticut Antique Machinery Association annual show. CAMA does great work in preserving and restoring the fabulous machinery of the past. For information about the museum and it's hours:
