Welcome to our new blog. Since we've had quite a few inquiries about the Somes Sound 12 1/2, the boat that we'll be building in a new two-week WoodenBoat School class, I thought we'd start with that.
The Somes Sound 12 1/2 is a completely new design, a descendent of the Herreshoff 12 1/2, just as the Haven 12 1/2 is. It was designed from the start for glued lapstrake construction—and excellent handling and performance.
Specifications: length, 15'9"; waterline, 12'6"; beam, 73"; draft, 18"; displacement, 1,389 lbs., sail area, 134 sq.ft.
For information about the class, please contact the WoodenBoat School.

Now that is a beautiful little boat. Nice work--but after getting halfway (so far) through your book I can see why it looks so, well, perfect. I'd like to see a lines drawing, when you get a chance to post one; I'm curious about how she looks on paper (and out of the water).
