Ralph Stanley of Southwest harbour, Maine, is one of the best-known, most talented designers and builders of wooden boats in the state, if not the entire nation.
Widely recognised in particular, for his shapely lobster boats and friendship sloops, Ralph has spent a lifetime in the shop and at the drawing board.
Here with the help of veteran boat building journalist and professional photographer Craig Milner, Ralph tells the fascinating colourful story of his family, his clients, his neighbours, his boats and his extraordinary career.
