Random Thought for Boatbuilding Friends.

Extremely random thought for my boat-building friends:

If you ever...


get tired...


of building...

boats...

You could always...


try building...


a plane.


Boatbuilding at the Yonkers Paddling and Rowing Club; replica aircraft building at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project, or H.A.R.P., at Floyd Bennett Field (right around the bend from the Paerdegat).

February 2012 Update: As this post continues to draw hits from people looking for information on the H.A.R.P., and as the old Geocities site the link above used to go to is defunct, I've replaced it with a link to the page of a photographer who's got some great pictures of the aircraft there and a very nice description of the project. If anyone from H.A.R.P. stumbles across this and there is a new website, I'd love it if you'd leave it in the comments - your comment will go in the moderation queue (that's to keep spammers from sneaking stuff in on these old posts) but I'll get it and update here within a day or two. Thanks!
