Abaco Dinghy Month

14 Jan 25:

This month's WoodenBoat Calendar photo of WIDGET, built by Winer Malone, reminds us that it is time to get out and work on our Abaco style Dinghy. The warm waters of the Bahamas and WIDGET look inviting, and beautifully photographed by Benjamin Mendlowitz.

Abaco Dinghy HENNING Paint Removal Continues

11 Apr 24:

We scraped and sanded 3 more frame sections and the inner port transom of HENING, the little Abaco dinghy. Next we'll roll the boat to starboard and work on that side. We're also working on a bronze order to replace some tired fittings. They screw eye on the quarter knee snapped loose in my hand when I went to remove the nut.

We're not sure what the bolt mid transom was for, possibly a lifting eye or maybe just a fastener for the knee inside.

Lots of fun working in all the nooks and crannies.
