Was kinda hopin’ to see a video on building a Poulsbo boat and details therein. Maybe history on the type.
Poul Smith says:
Poulsbo?
I am Danish, my family name, Smith comes from English ancestors. But Poul is danished spelled and bo is house or dwelling.
What is the story behind Poulsbo?
May I use the opportunity to expres my joy of every mail from OCH..

Nate Rooks says:
Hi Poul – thanks for the kind words and interesting breakdown.
Poulsbo, where Ronald Young built hundreds of these boats, is a small town across the water from Seattle, WA, founded by Norwegian immigrants in the late-1800s.
Gordon Sanstad says:
Whoops!
The boat you are showing is not the boat whose drawings you display.
The building is of the standard “16” transomed inboard designed and built by Ronald Young for so many years.
The drawings are for one of his rare double enders!
Losing some credibility here. . .

Nate Rooks says:
Good catch, Gordon. It looks like NWSWB used those drawings for effect, but I also see that they’re for a double-ender. (This video was produced by the school, not OCH).
