About the Boat (The Proposal)

This is the plan I found in a catalog of boat plans from Wooden Boat magazine.  I had considered 8 or 10 different power boats and sail boats out of the three catalogs and pondered on them for years.  Now that I'm serious about building another boat, I've decided the winner is the Redwing.  It's modest size, mildly powered for just puttering around, and includes overnight camping-on-the-water ability.

Here is an image from the internet of what a Redwing 18 looks like.  Of the various ones I've seen on the internet, I like the paint color scheme of this one a lot.  Time will only tell whether mine will look as good.

  1. Bro in law Tom here. I love the sheer. Very salty and should handle

    May I suggest an 8hp Honda. It is available in short or long shaft and is as dependable as gravity.
