Iain Oughtred's Ness Yawl - professional builders?

Hi Tom,

I have all but closed this business. They simply take too long to build
....especially with all those people who believe that 'plywood' is acceptable


When is the Port Townsend festival ? Always wanted to go. Might bring
down some large teak timbers.

regards...Ken

The wooden boat festival this year is September 5th through the 7th - I
think it's typically the second weekend in September. Here's a link to the
web site of the Wooden Boat Foundation, which puts it on:
http://www.woodenboat.org/

If you brought down some teak to sell and didn't want to take back what
doesn't sell, Jim Farris ("Kiwi") at Edensaw - http://www.edensaw.com -
would probably give you a good price for it. He'd be your competition, but I
don't think that he actually keeps much big teak around, certainly nothing
over 12/4. But he's got some hellacious big bubinga and other exotics like
that.

I can sympathize with you about trying to build like you do and make what
you need to make on such a labor-intensive product. It's too bad. You'll
see, for instance, a new build of a Haven 12 1/2 selling for $25,000. I
guess there must be at least a few people who can pay that for a small open
daysailer but they don't come around and knock on your door very often.


Tom
