I have added Francois Vivier’s site to the “For love of a boat” links.
His small boat designs are an answer to the questions behind these posts.
Yes, there are people still designing and building ‘traditional’ boats .
In fact, there are a growing number of them finding ways and means to continue the evolutionary process and put traditional designs into a modern setting.
My thanks to Sjogin’s owner for pointing to Monsieur Vivier.

Great pics Bill, I like nothing better than wandering around looking at old boats. I’m also a bif fan of Mr Vivier, one day I will get around to building an Ilur!!
I think that everything published made a bunch of sense.
However, think on this, suppose you were to write
a killer title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean For love of a boat – a new link bill’s boatblog is kinda
boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news titles to grab people to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about everything’ve written.
In my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
Greetings! I’ve been following your weblog for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Kingwood Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!
