BUILDING THE LATEST PAINE 15

I wanted my friends to know that I have decided to build a Paine 15. The first one is nearing completion at French & Webb, and you can learn more about it by going to their website or phoning Todd French. I loved AMELIA- my Paine 14- so much that I came to regret selling her a year ago. The only recourse was to build another- but the larger version suited my requirements a bit better. I bought the cold-molded wood hull from French & Webb, who collaborated with Belmont Boat Works to complete my high-tech vacuum bagged hull. I’ll post a few photos as she takes shape. This is how she stood on May 28.

The bulkheads and transom are in place and the keel deadwood will be added next.
