Great question. Of course, it’s all relative but your definition of a small boat being 100′ long with a 35′ beam is certainly a long way from ours! We consider a small boat to be one that can be stored and maintained at home in an average-sized garage, can be trailered behind a modest car, and can be easily launched and recovered at a typical public ramp. Thanks for the congratulations. JB

I have a small technical question: how big can a small boat be? In the world I work in of harbor and sea-going tugboats, the small boats top out around 100’ with a beam somewhere around 35’ and a draught of 12’-14’. The big boats are considerably bigger. On the other hand, my only working sail boat is a Sunfish. I am resurrecting a very old sharpie ketch of 22’ on the water and 35’ overall. Is my Jenny Diver a small boat? Again congratulations on the new job. I look forward to may delightful issues to come.

Same with Wooden Boat. As a master craftsman, but highly practical on the water, I don’t have time for leisure long trips in small sail boats virtue signaling the whole way my overconcern of the environment.
This is why I love small useful, easy to build stitch and glue boats with gasoline motors. Outboards were invented over 100 years ago and will continue into the far future.
