Visit to a Fellow Boatbuilders Yard

Bill Moffitt is an inveterate builder of boats designed by Jim Michalak. His sons have definitely followed in their father's footsteps.  I chanced upon an article in Duckworks Magazine
written by Sean Moffitt. It was definitely time for another visit to the Moffitt boat yard.
Today is a beautiful day, so I am naturally psyched. Spring is almost 'sprung,' and it is the time of year when all boat builders want to go out and do something to move their projects forward. The father/son building team is definitely on the move!
Featured in this picture is Bill's new project, D'Arcy Bryn.  This boat was specifically designed for Bill by Jim Michalak.  It has the naturally beautiful curves that Jim designs into his boats.  D'Arcy is a little over 15 feet and promises to be the consummate beach cruising camper. 

This is Sean's new boat, a Toon2.  Sean plans to camp cruise the Outer Banks for the summer months.  Read Sean's article here.

Here is a picture of Bill and his son Paul sailing his previous building project Mike's Boat in the Texas 200 race.  She is a fast boat, indeed. Here she is about to pass a SeaPearl, no slouch in the sailing department for sure.
