SMALL— a 14' daysailer designed by Antonio Dias

“Hi! I'm Bill Clements. On the following pages I'd like to show you the boats I've built and the beauty of a wood boat. There's no man-made material that can match or equal the lustrous beauty and grace reflected in a finely crafted wood boat. I enjoy working with wood - take pride in my craftsmanship - and give my customers excellent value. I would love to hear what your dream is and would be pleased to help you fulfill it. My business is all about making dreams come true.

“Since 1980 I have been a boat builder building traditional wooden boats and restoring wood-canvas canoes. My boat building from the beginning has been lap-strake construction varying from traditional cedar planking on bent oak frames to glued-lap plywood construction. I endeavor to produce wooden boats from the highest quality materials that will require minimum maintenance. To achieve this end my primary construction method is glued-lap plywood, using high quality marine mahogany plywood with all hull surfaces coated with marine epoxy and all joints bonded with epoxy glue. The wooden boats I build vary from original 19th century designs to contemporary designs influenced by the earlier traditional boats. I also sell a full line of wood boat and canoe restoration supplies.”
