Jim’s last build, 1980- “Heart’s Content”

Later painted deck red polyurethane to endure the Florida sun. Marine ply/epoxy, Honduras & African mahagony, spruce stringers and coaming, fantail stern. Fore/aft decks watertight. Heart’s Content is in fact a town on the coast of Conception Bay Newfoundland, home of my mother’s family.

Other garage builds (1970-1974): 28’ triamaran, 15’ lap strake sailing dory, 10’ dingy, 30’ lobster boat, furniture...
