People are amazing. Our customers remind us just how amazing they are every time they build a PT 11 and go adventuring in it. I want to start sharing more of those stories starting with a recent update from Professor Fisher.<\/p>\n

Terry designed and built a tear drop camper that includes a special hatch on the forward face to accommodate the PT 11.<\/p>\n

My plan is to use the boat for sailing on lakes and rowing on rivers. \u00a0Why not simply carry the boat on top of the car? \u00a0Partly to reduce air resistance and thus to increase mileage. \u00a0(The trailer is designed to sit in the slipstream of my car.). And partly for security. \u00a0(The trailer locks; thus I don’t worry that the boat will be stolen when my dog and I go on hikes.)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Terry recently spent 6 1\/2 weeks in his camper recently, detailed in this article<\/a>.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Now that his PT 11 is almost finished, his next camping trip will include the dinghy.<\/div>\n

The most gratifying part of our experience with Port Townsend Watercraft is that it is the ‘gift that keeps on giving’ when customers write to us with their stories, their joy, and comments like this::<\/div>\n

Many thanks for designing such a remarkable craft \u2014 and enabling me to build one.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
