14' Penobscot Open Sloop (2011) - E-Z-DUZIT

E-Z-Duzit, the epitome of “Start Out Slow then Ease Up”. Evident especially in one of the pictures showing a bare foot laid back day on the lake! The Penobscot 14 is also a great boat to enjoy under oar. I especially like to practice feathering the oars and watching the puddles form while gliding along. The classic lines of her sweeping hull are sure to turn heads. She is constructed of marine ply, mahogany, white oak and sitka spruce. The build time was just under 4 years. However, I went by the philosophy of take my time and do a good job, living up to her name “E-Z Duzit” Having a lug sail and small jib present a sail plan that at distance, would remind a wooden boat enthusiast of the well known Herreshoff 12 1/2, well maybe if near sighted and wearing an eye patch. Regardless, my Penobscot 14, E-Z Duzit is a classic in my eyes. Oh, and after all, if your boat has been immortalized in a painting, it must be a classic. (see picture below) This painting was done by a gentleman that saw my blog and reached out to me. We struck up a friendship and I commissioned him to paint this scene. I love his style and use of color! Thank You for viewing my entry. Here is a blog about building E-Z Duzit. http://penobscot14-sailboat.blogspot.com/ Also linked at the right under “Website”
