A Legacy of Craftsmanship: Devlin Wooden Boat Building

Sam Devlin has been designing and building wooden boats since 1977. His legacy is still being written in the industry, but it has already made quite the sizable impact. His eye for combining traditional lines with modern touches has allowed him to produce over 430 artfully crafted wooden boats of all sorts of sizes and shapes. This is the story of a man dedicated to chasing the horizon.

Currently building my 'first' stitch and glue 997cm (almost 10 feet) flat-bottom skiff with wide stern and up-angled narrow dory bow here in Kumamoto, Japan. It will be powered with a 2HP Tohatsu outboard. May put a removable front mast for small sail rig in future. No plans, just using what I learned from watching Sam Devlin's Polliwog video, so inspiring!!! Using 1/2" plywood (not marine grade) but it's already very sturdy (with wood powder and epoxy welds) and looking great. Should be a tank once coated with epoxy and glass. The hull is very light and will have wheels that can be lowered for easy one-man boat launching from my truck bed. Have been working on it for one week and it has been a blast. I want to build another after this one. Sam's larger boats are beautiful and thank you for sharing this feature.
