Leslie Jean

In Festival Boats 2017

Leslie Jean is a 15′ Whitehall that is a combination of many designs. Mostly the lines were taken from an article in National Fisherman Magazine from 1954 and 1977 as written by John Gardner. This was a learning project that took 10 years to complete. I would take a class and then go home and do that part of the project. Next up: a 30′ SUSAN schooner designed by Murray Peterson. The build is in the Georgetown area at BischoffBoatworks. Hull is complete and currently building the interior. See the project at bischoffboatworks.com.
