Jim Michalak's wonderful designs - many inspired by the iconic Phil Bolger - have introduced many to the delights of building superbly simple and functional wooden boats.  "Can we build it?  Yes we can!"

 

In 2010 we built an AF3 15' leeboard sharpie for a client in Canberra, ACT (Australia). He is VERY happy with it.  An simple well designed small boat, and very capable by all accounts.
