I am looking forward to getting back to working on our representation of the 1812 era USS Trippe, started by our good friend Kevin McCarthy. While the actual construction has been on hold, this time has been helpful for planning some of the details for Trippe’s sails and rigging. Click on the link above to read all about our trip to Erie, PA, as we visit the Brig Niagara and Dave Bierig’s sail loft. Hopefully we can pick up where we left off soon enough! – Greg Dudley, Assistant Boatbuilder, Buffalo Maritime Center
