COASTAL QUEEN RESTORATION EPISODE #15 "Winer Malone and The Abaco Dinghies."

Schell Custom Boatworks is featured again as they repair and finish two Abaco Dinghies believed to be built by Thomas Winer Malone. The sail has arrived from Appleton, Maine and Pete Schell prepares the 14ft Abaco Dinghy for it's first sail in over 70 years.
With help from Mike Green we go back in time to visit master craftsman Thomas Winer Malone, and discover some of the magic that went into making these beautiful boats.

Very interesting. Unbelievable how these old timers built boats by hand with quality. This documentary is stellar and very well done, thanks

That's awesome, love the craftsmanship. Seeing the yankee screwdriver brings back memories of my dad, wonderful history

[@peterslackfilms]

I knew you had one of those things!

This series is so much more than just another documentary on the restoration of an old boat. Thank you Peter Slack.

Beautiful Malone dinghy and so valuable that there is video of him at work.

Beautiful! The sail would be more versatile, set and perform better and the boom would be higher, if there was a clew lashing... see The Sailmaker's Apprentice.
