    SJ~ No, I always face the stern. It's my understanding, however, that traditional Barnegat Bay Sneakboxes were rowed facing forward. I will let Capt. Keeney illuminate. We on Great South Bay (almost everybody) also shoot over the stern. The spray shield in my photo is on the foredeck. All...

    Gents~ Yup.....allows deck wash, saves weight, drains sockets.... Such details aside - those portraits stopped this old heart for a beat - truly gorgeous! All the best, SJS

    Good morning, Richard~ You've probably seen this before, but.... I just bought 2 lengths of closet pole yesterday - and 3 duckbill heads (feet, really) arrived a few days ago in the mail. I will be putting my "chock & bail" holder on a South Bay Duckboat soon. I like an 11-foot pole (shown...

    Good morning, Richard~ Congratulations on both the swift completion and the sea trials! I've made a few half-hearted, never finished attempts to put a sailing rig on a gunning vessel - a scooter and a decked-over canoe. I made the spars for the former (a 1920s Benjamin Hallock Scooter with...

    PHOTOS: 43rd Annual NJ Tuckerton Decoy & Gunning Show September 27-28

    Anthony et al~ Well, my Mom needs me more here on Long Island - so no Tuckerton at all this year.... I will head straight back to the farm this afternoon with no detour through the Garden State. I will miss all the people, boats, decoys, Atlantic White Cedar - but I did have a nice visit here...

    All~ Family needs have called.... So, I will (I think) get to the Show Sunday only - and as a Visitor, not an Exhibitor. Hope to see you there! SJS

    Help Identify Maker

    Dion~ The Wildfowler Decoy Co. in your avatar intrigues me. Are you the current holder of that storied company name? (I'm an Old Saybrook and Quogue devotee.) In recent years I have been looking for non-collectible "specimens" (Superior Model with balsa bodies) and putting them into gunning...

    Jode~ I first thought Carstens, too, but.... I have only seen/used one Carstens - and it was a Pintail. I do not recall the molded lapstrake effect, the hard chine or the rub strakes on her bottom. But - I readily defer to anyone who owns one...

    Good morning, Richard~ Wonderful - congratulations! Question: Can your dagger (scimitar?) board be set at any depth? If so, what holds it up or down. Simple friction in the lot? Leather? Spring brass? Also - good decision to wait for calmer weather for the sea trials. All the best, SJS

    Newest boat pick up/winter project

    Good morning, Jode~ Great addition to any fleet! I love the detail on the stool rack sides. Always a plus when a bit of artistry can be combined with the practical - draining the stern deck, in this instance. Also, am I seeing tongue-and-groove on the deck planks? I will be re-decking my...

    Rick~ I have saved your photo of those fine turnbuttons - in a new folder in my Boats/Gear section. When (if) I make it to Tuckerton next weekend, I will be sure to take a photo of the nice bronze ones Dave Clark uses in his gunning boats. And, I will on the lookout for other such solutions...
