The
Answer Man
Paul Bennett from Shoe String
Shipyard has graciously agreed to help us out with boat related
questions that we all face when building or restoring wooden boats.
"Definition....boat (bot), n.- a hole in the surface
of the water, into which money is thrown". Sign in Paul's
Boat Shop.
Please
direct any question you may have to me using this address at woody@lightningclass.org.
I will act as moderator for Paul so we don't overwhelm him or ask
the same question over and over again. To the left you will
see a growing list of relevant correspondence with Paul.
Paul is a Naval Architect and has a
degree in marine engineering, earned an engineering license, went
back to school for naval architecture, worked in the marine industry
for many years (commercial ships - tankers, freighters, et. al.),
and later moved down to yacht and small boat design.
Paul
specializes in designs for first time novice home boat builders that
become stock plans for sale on his web site. He
also offers sophisticated custom yacht designs for professional
builders.
