What people are saying:
"Enclosed are several pictures of the Redwing 21. I loved building the boat and I keep getting plenty of compliments ashore and afloat. Thanks again for a great design. My wife is afraid that I may start another one."
-- R.V. Selbyville, DE
"A friend loaned me the study plans for your Catbird. She seems as close to the perfect sharpie as I've seen; and I've been looking for a long time. Atkin, Colvin, Chapelle, Brewer, and of course Bolger (built 4 of his). The sharp entry, good flare and strong sheer look just right to my eye. Saw Redwing in O'Brien's B.D.Q, right on the mark too."
-- R.S. Brooklyn, NY
"Consider this letter as "Fan Mail". Mostly because, as I approached retirement I had come to believe that the day of the simple plywood boat had passed, then along comes Karl!"
-- D.T. Westbank, BC, Canada
"Thanks for your help. Let me add that you have perhaps the most appealing group of boat designs that I've seen - traditional without being stodgy, simple without being dull."
-- D.G. Cottage Grove, OR
"Rec'd study plans (Little Island Trader) yesterday and am very pleased...a very pretty little ship and a clever utilization of all space available...AND an engine room worthy of the name. That box keel will be massively strong and lends itself perfectly to supporting the fuel power and water you suggest."
-- J.B Vancouver, Canada
