I built and rebuilt wooden boats for many years and that sharpie continues to be my favorite boat design. An elegant beauty!

Do more of these.

I've got a series of these coming out-did some interview with a few of the I Built It Myself boats and did some "Booth Chats" this year. On it! -Anne

Thank you for posting this, was just starting to read about sharpies. Looking forward to seeing more of these type of videos.

Cool boat! I love old work boats...Beauty derived from purpose! That rudder is the silliest thing I have seen -low aspect to the extreme. Very impressive if that is the result of just 3 weeks work!

[@mjschaeffer2112]

Very nice boat. Great interview.

[@williamfisher7233]

It would be nice to see additional boats at the show.

Keep a weather eye out... I've got a few more of these in the works. -Anne

This is great. I love Sharpies and would love to see more of them,. Popular around North Carolina. Are there any more plans or details available for them out there? Would love to build one sometime.

We have lots of resources for you. These boats are perfect for North Carolina waters, which is why they're popular there. Check out the Plans and Kits section of woodenboat.com: www.woodenboat.com/boat-plans-kits?k=sharpie&ssrnd=2690235 The "How to Build" article in Issue No. 1 [available as PDF] is very enlightening: www.woodenboatstore.com/products/issue-1-sept-oct-1974-digital?_pos=9&_sid=4ecc6215f&_ss=r And I recommend this Reuel Parker book as a good place to start: www.woodenboatstore.com/products/sharpie-book-the?_pos=1&_sid=4ecc6215f&_ss=r Enjoy! -Anne
