saw this beautiful wooden sailboat posted on Wooden Boat Magazine’s Instagram the other day.
Looking at Michael Shenker’s new boat, you may think you’re seeing a ubiquitous Alcort Sunfish, but this boat is a Moonfish 14 designed by Jacques Mertens-Gooddens (https://bateau.com) and built by Michael over the winter of 2018-19. The marine plywood hull is sheathed in fiberglass set in epoxy. Michael sails on the lakes near his new jersey home.⠀
a little googling found a little more information about this wooden boat:

and the inspiration for the blog post title is of course from Dr. Seuss!

Lol, I had just decided yesterday to name my boats One Fish and Two Fish (my wife teaches 1st grade, so I know the book well!). Now everyone is going to think I copied your idea 😱
That is a beautiful boat, tho.

… looks like a very nice summer lake toy, but I’d assume that a Sunfish will hold up better at 5+ bft.
~~~ I just looooove chasing double digit knots during winter storms with my ‘olle’ Sunfish 😉

pete – yeah, I’d almost be afraid to sail that after spending a long time building it.
