The Wood Duck

A flagpole and a modern window embellish  this  pile-based  model.

PILE type offshore boathouses are usu­ally most successful in warm regions or sheltered bays where there is little danger of ice damage. However, the Wood Duck has been used even in the Far North­ern states. It is a pile type which houses a single craft. Construction is extremely simple, but flagpole and large window give it a modern touch. Necessary materials are given opposite with the exception of sup­plies needed for interior finishing. Ample walkways around the slip provide for stor­age of boating equipment not in use. It is most suitable for use in shallow water.

Wide walkways around the slip and shore entrance at far left allow plenty of room for equipment.
