I heard you were at shroud cay and you saw one of the boats and you loved the layouts and went to highbourne cay the next day to get the measurments. The boat you saw my dad had redid and this summer I am redoing one of them with my dad. Cant wait because they are such great boats and I love the way they ride.<br />Peter Morleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146382800623340123.post-66141876444955072172015-05-10T07:54:14.856-04:002015-05-10T07:54:14.856-04:00People who spend too much time worrying about what...People who spend too much time worrying about what others are doing or creating are not paying enough attention to their own work. <br />There are numerous Bahamian inspired boats out there many of which have very similar lines. No one owns that inspiration and everyone who likes it should improve their own version of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027936679079962693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146382800623340123.post-21097170579453671092015-04-20T01:09:19.633-04:002015-04-20T01:09:19.633-04:00I've always loved the looks of what I called B...I've always loved the looks of what I called Bahamas skiffs since I first moved to the Bahamas 25 years ago. In 1995 I bought one of the last Blue Runners Gary Kelley built. I loved that boat and had a lot of fun diving and fishing off of it. <br /> It was only a few years ago, upon moving to Eleuthera from Nassau that I found out that the Spanish Wells skiffs were a completely different and better boat than the Albury skiffs…and I've been trying to get my hands on one for the past year. <br />Funny enough I came across this blog about 3 months ago, recognized your name Chris…and at about the same time came across the New Spanish wells boat project…now, in your most recent post, I learn that you designed the original Spanish wells skiff….how cool is that? Anyways…thanks for designing such a great boat.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149086737616019270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146382800623340123.post-79107887338203349882015-04-16T17:53:33.082-04:002015-04-16T17:53:33.082-04:00Well said!

That the evolution and changes gradually improve the entire lot.<br /><br />I admire the classic looks of these class of boats & like very much this SWB skiff. Great post!
