Bahamas Boatbuilding

29 Nov 23:

While sorting through 288 back issues of WoodenBoat Magazine, the cover photo on NUMBER 135 March/April 1997 caught our eye.

Inside are articles on Bahamas Boatbuilding, which includes a story on Abaco dinghies that were built by Mr. Winer Malone. (Image Credits: WoodenBoat, Number 135. March/April 1997)

There are very few documented records of  boatbuilding in this beautiful part of the world. We'd like to thank the WoodenBoat crew for researching and publishing the article, Kurt Adams for writing and Benjamin Mendlowitz for taking the photos. But most of all, to Mr. Malone and for sharing his knowledge and skills, many, many times with boatstruck total strangers.
