Dayboat Launch 23ft (6.5m) by Stephen Foster - great photos of a fantastic looking boat.

It is a very simplified hull - basically a square box, but I've done my normal trick of making it look rather nice. And Stephen's clever adaptation of the cabin is just excellent!

Cheap Electric Power and a day sightseeing!

The boat is driven easily at reasonable speed with a small electric trolling motor - some are well under 200 dollars. It doesn't require a trailer. It comes from three sheets of exterior plywood. Costs are down on every front.

Slightly arrogant I!

I visit the Philippines then Malaysia and also find a large community of Filipino boat builders there. I find they know much more than me about boat design and varieties. Stunning mix of different boats from curvaceous to plywood and boxy.

But Gosh ... the shapes they come up with!

Fiona Harbison and friends have just launched their new Handy Punt for fishing and family outings.

Fiona is the sister of Helen (hope I have that right) who built a Nutshell pram in a number of the Duck Flat spring or autumn boatbuilding schools.

It is called Farnark, which will strike a chord with Australians and New Zealanders through the work of John Clarke. There is a picture of the boat and a clip of John Clarke reprising his farnarkling spiel.
