thing if that is what you want. Wenda has no motor, and no
reasonable way to have a motor, which is again just the right
thing if that is what you want.
Wenda is 25% long than Monhegan, and probaly about 15%
more work to build the hull. Wenda would be cheaper [by the
cost of the motor.]
All things equal, I want both of these boats, but would build
a Wenda first, I think it is more beautiful.
I was smitten by a profile drawing that appeared in Motor Boating and
Sailing in the early 70's. It ignited an interest in traditional boats and
boatbuilding which has lasted ever since. I fantasized about building her
and obtained the portfolio of designs which eventually became the book Small
Boats.
The good news is that she is absolutely gorgeous. The bad news is that
Monhegan is a functioning model, much like the Cape Dory Typhoon. The
cockpit is a little too small for comfort; the cabin is too small to do
anything except store sails and a cooler. With a short waterline and a lot
of ballast, Monhegan is probably a good ghoster, but her ultimate speed is
probably not great. For about the same money and labor, you could build
Wenda which is probably a more useful boat.

Its a Friendship Sloop, gaff rigged. The cuddy cabin is for storage and

rudder. The rudder stock terminates at the top of the opening. No
deadwood between rudder and propellor.

Yep,
Bruce; my comment on the prop placement was because you had the prop gap
totally in the deadwood ahead of the rudder with more deadwood between
the prop and the rudder. This would be an unusual placement and I was
wondering if this was Bolgerism that I hadn't run into before. As it
turns out it was just hurried placement of an ink splash and now you
know we are really looking at your work.
Thank you very much for your efforts.

Hi Bruce,
I have to tell you I'm getting the biggest kick out of seeing your models. I'm afraid if I say keep up the good work you'll start charging an admission price to see your photos. Thanks for sharing.

Monhegan is a sweet little boat, 18 feet long, one again
achievable quickly in plywood lapstrake I'd dare. I like
the simplicity of the idea of using inside concrete for
ballast.
