Courtney & Tara are building a Willow Bay "Shilling" - a 17 foot (length-on-deck) wooden day-sailer. This blog will document construction details and progress, from ordering study plans to launch day and beyond.
The Shilling
Designed by Phil Swift, Willow Bay Boats
Who's building this thing?
- Courtney & Tara
- Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
- Courtney is a senior administrator for a non-profit agency serving adults with intellectual disabilities. Tara is renovating her cottage. Aside from boats, they like making and listening to music, cooking and eating good food, travel (especially to gigs!), and reading.
But what's her NAME?
Some of you might have heard what we plan to name this boat, but we've decided not to make that information public until she has a proper dedication and launching ceremony. In the meantime, we welcome name suggestions. You might not change our minds, but it should be entertaining, so feel free to leave a comment with your suggestion!

How Lemeridian funding service grant me a loan!!!
Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to Le_meridian funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact Le_meridian funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com Or lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
Hi my name is Peter, (I´m not a blogger on this site) however... I am also interested in building a Shilling, they´re a great design. However despite several attempts at contacting Willow bay boats via email, I have not heard anything from them. Are they still operating? Do you have any advice about how I might get my hands on a set of plans???
Any information regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I can be contacted via email peterjcooper4@gmail.com.
Kind regards Peter C.
