After the 2007 Wooden Boat Show, Dan Segal came to try out the Ipswich Bay 18, and wrote all about it!  Watch for the article in the 2008 "Small Boats" edition of Wooden Boat magazine!  Find Dan and his Design on page 90.

Bob Hicks of Messing About in Boats published a story Dan wrote about his trip down to the 2006 Gloucester Schooner Races.  See the story here! 

Dan exhibited his Ipswich Bay 18 design at the 2007 Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT.   Shortly after the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT, Wooden Boat representatives contacted Dan about running an article about the Ipswich Bay design.
