Thomas Winer Malone
Winer Malone (born November 1, 1929), the last of a great generation of Bahamian wooden boat builders, single-handedly crafted over 200 Abaco dinghies in his lifetime.〔Collins 2005〕 Ranging from 10–14 feet, his boats were hewn from memory without the use of power tools, jigs or templates, and from trees he cut himself on the Abaco Islands.〔Wooden Boat Magazine〕
Malone's Abaco dinghy is open-hulled and single-masted with a small "banana board" supporting the top of the sail. "Scooting joyfully under sail across harbors and bights, Abaco dinghies are distinctive at a distance. Even at anchor they display a corky energy. Their design is as traditionally perfect for their intended use as is the Native American canoe." 〔Dodge 2005〕
Before the advent of outboard motors in the 1950s, Bahamian dinghies often provided the sole means of transportation for fishermen, farmers, and visiting families, as well as the occasional smuggler and rum-runner. If the wind died, a boat could be propelled with a single, long sculling oar off the transom. When fiberglass hulls finally supplanted wood construction in the 1960s, Malone's Abaco dinghies remained in strong demand, primarily from American sailing enthusiasts.
