36′ McIntosh Schooner (1956) – ADVENT

Hello! Bud's book was my mentor and bible as I built my schooner BISH. SO happy you are keeping the dream alive in ADVENT!

I use Marshall’s Cove paint everywhere. He personally makes the paint on Bainbridge Island. I used Cream gloss on the hull, yacht white gloss elsewhere, and off-white satin on the interior.

Thanks so much for visiting my page. Hopefully when we get this puppy in the water we can meet up somewhere out there!

I guess it's from 8 years of living aboard, but the smell of diesel (other than in a rolling sea) does not bother me. Thanks for the compliment. As it says on my website: Compliments accepted, criticisms deleted. I have a painting of my dad with a Greek fisherman's hat and smoking his pipe.... I look silly in one and even sillier with the other 😉

I agree it's a tribute to my dad. Altho.... there is NO WAY he would ever fit in the saloon on this boat (for others: Bish was a big guy.. 6'6" and 250 lbs)

I had a glass boat (Eglantine... a Bob Perry Tayana 37 cutter) for 35 years set up for cruising. I just turned 69, so this boat is non-varnish, no electronics, no electrical and a hand crank SABB engine. I imagine I will be doing local singlehanded cruising only (including Barkley Sound and Big Bay).

Thanks Scott. I sure hope we get to have a Wooden Boat Festival this year. There is a 50/50 chance I'll splash before that, but hopefully will see you there (with or without BISH).
