The Palmer Company of Cos Cob, Connecticut, got its start in 1895 when Frank and Ray Palmer installed their first production engine in a 15' Whitehall. By the 1930s their company was one of the nation's leading builders of marine engines. In the early days the Palmers contracted with nearby boatbuilders to produce boats in which to install their engines, and they mar­keted complete packages under the Palmer name. Far too small for an engine, this skiff may have been sold as a tender for larger boats.  The plans have all you need to shape the boat: plank widths for the bottom, dimensions for a mold amidships, and a transom pattern. The seat supports are unusually elegant for such a small skiff and pro­vide substantial  strength.

She is slightly larger than the Chamberlain dory-skiff: her bottom is about 6\" wider and her sides are straighter as well, with only a slight knuckle at the first bend. At rest, or when you jump in and out, she would be a little steadier than the Chamberlain, somewhat more akin to a flatiron skiff, but not as easy as the Chamberlain in the rollers and slower under oar. Her three-part stern bench has a removable center section, which is a good idea in these little boats, where it is sometimes hard to tuck things under­neath the seat and to reach during spring painting.  With a fairly vertical transom and wide stern, she will take an outboard motor.

When she was built, sliding seat rowing had been just introduced into the racing world, and this boat was set up with a slide. Her spoon oars and a set of wonderful pinned, yet feathering, oarlocks complement her style. You'll need some cross-handed skill to manage the oars as they run 8' on a beam of 3' 7\".  She has a pair of mast steps with metal bracing and a metal dagger board trunk, but no rig details other than for the mast, which has two sheaves. Judging from the mast steps she could be sailed as a sloop or a cat, but there is no evidence of cleats or other details to indicate that she spent much time under sail. Her missing bronze dagger board was thin enough to allow the slot to be cut through the 1\" keel.  She is built about as lightly as it is possible for a carvel boat with 3\/8\" planks.  The seat posts are turned; and all the floorboards, the seat riser, and the sheerstrake are beaded. Frames are inlet so the backbone can be stiffened by a full-length keel batten. While the plans do not show materials, her seats, interior structure, and sheerstrake appear to be mahogany.  Even with the various metal pieces she weighs 313 pounds, which seems heavy unless she is mahogany planked as well.  From \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"87 Boat Designs\" href=\"https:\/\/store.mysticseaport.org\/87-boat-designs-by-ben-fuller-1020546.html\"\u003e87 Boat Designs\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eby Ben Fuller.  Plans drawn by Mystic Seaport staff in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWSP.7.21\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystic Seaport Museum Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49185379254519,"sku":"WSP.7.21","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/9220\/5815\/files\/wsp7_21.jpg?v=1730184947"},{"product_id":"sullivan-whitehall-model","title":"Sullivan Whitehall (Model)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese plans are taken from a 5' builder's model in the Mystic Seaport collection which hung in Dick Sullivan’s boat shop on Atlantic Avenue in Boston.

This was the usual method of Whitehall building.  Four seats cross the boat, which would allow her to be rowed as a four with coxswain, but the space in the stern would be tight. Three rowers would be better, but two would be a little scant for the best speed.  Her beam is wide enough so that a pair of rowers might have used 9' 6\" sweeps rather than sculls, or she might work well random style, with a sculler amid­ ships and sweep rowers forward and aft.  With 3\/4\" planking, as drawn, the boat would not be light.  From \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"87 Boat Designs\" href=\"https:\/\/store.mysticseaport.org\/87-boat-designs-by-ben-fuller-1020546.html\"\u003e87 Boat Designs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e by Ben Fuller.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWSP.7.147\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystic Seaport Museum Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49185379287287,"sku":"WSP.7.147","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/9220\/5815\/files\/wsp_2005_3_7_147.jpg?v=1730184989"},{"product_id":"annie-st-lawrence-river-skiff","title":"ANNIE, St. Lawrence River Skiff","description":"\u003cp\u003eANNIE\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ecame to Mystic Seaport's col­lection in 1980.   Built by Bain at Clayton, New York, she is a fancy fish­ing skiff, with seats inlaid with cedar and butternut, butternut coamings, and birds-eye maple covering boards.

The 109 has the flat bottom and hard bilge of the similar-­sized Rangeley, but with l\/4\" planking, a lighter scantling keel, and lighter bent stems, it is in the 70-pound range. To keep things simple, Rushton built these as symmetrical boats. For longer ones, builders simply added some space amidships in the setup. As might be expected, on the water this boat handles much like the Barrett Rangeley.  Based on the success of the Rangeley boat project, the Model 109-which is about the same size but lighter and eas­ier to build became the next project at Mystic Seaport's boat shop. Ten of these boats were built using patterns based on this set of boat lines. Since then, Rushton's manuscript, \"Knowledge,\" in the Adirondack Museum collection, has become better known (see Hallie Bond's article, \"J Henry Rushton's Books of Knowledge\", \u003cem\u003eThe Apprentice \u003c\/em\u003e12, Autumn 1990).  It lists dimensions for plank patterns for all models, which have been tested and found to work.  From \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"87 Boat Designs\" href=\"https:\/\/store.mysticseaport.org\/87-boat-designs-by-ben-fuller-1020546.html%20\"\u003e87 Boat Designs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e by Ben Fuller.  Plans drawn in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWSP.7.115\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystic Seaport Museum Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49185380368631,"sku":"WSP.7.115","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/9220\/5815\/files\/wsp7_115.jpg?v=1730185149"},{"product_id":"peapod-by-gardner","title":"Peapod by Gardner","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Gardner modeled this peapod shortly after coming to Mystic Seaport in 1971.

FULLER is a 15' 8\" Kingston lobster boat by Arthur Rogers, 1872.  Her lines show a nice, sharp bow, as well as a couple of rowing sta­tions, which would not often be needed with her substantial sail area.  Double sculling notches in her transom would let you use a big sweep to help her in drifter.  Spars did not come with ANNIE A. FULLER, but there is an excellent photo from which the sail plan could be scaled.  From  \u003ca title=\"87 Boat Designs\" href=\"https:\/\/store.mysticseaport.org\/87-boat-designs-by-ben-fuller-1020546.html\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e87 Boat Designs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by Ben Fuller.
