The design of a boat all starts with the half model. The half model will show you exactly what your boat
is going to look like. From this you can determine how much water your boat will draw, the length, breadth and height. The half model is the most essential part of boat design.
I still enjoy drawing plans and building half models. Not many people still practice this age old art due to
the use of computers. It is simply too easy to enter numbers into a program and let the computer do all the
work. Please enjoy this marine page.

The birth of all vessels start with the half model. I still design and make the half model by hand, this is how I was taught and I hope this age old art will never die out. This particular model is in the Marina Restaurant in Fernandina. I have two more under construction at this time. Call me and lets discuss what you would like in a large or small half model.

Small, approx. 12" natural wood model, mounted. $75.00
Many have asked if I build complete models, yes I do but it is a long process. I build them from the keel up just like the big ones are built.

Small model painted and mounted. $60.00
