This photo shows a Dark Harbor 17 on the bottom. Above that are the sail plan for a traditional gaff rigged Dark Harbor boat, with a Marconi rig on the same hull shown just to the left.

This photo shows the new Dark Harbor 15, drawn by Chip Flannigan.

Full size lofting.

Hull, still on the forms. Primed above and below the waterline. Red lead used on all areas below the waterline (as well as in the bilge.)

Transom detail. Cedar planking. Mahogany transom.

A few of the crowd that showed up to help turn the hull. Note the full size lofting on the wall behind them.

Better view of the crowd.

The first step is to lift the hull and slide the form out from underneath. Many hands make light work!

Higher guys!

The hull got placed on a couple of saw horses, temporarily, so we could regroup for the turning.

Ok, now it's time to roll her. Easy does it!

Here's the intrepid boat builder. Once the boat was turned and blocked, he clamped some legs in place to keep the boat from rolling.

Bilge detail showing ribs, floors, keel bolts and lots of red lead.

Here she is. Time to break out the beers. Still a bit of work for Chip to do!
