It was almost inevitable that Eddie and Ronnie Cutts would be boat builders. Their father built more than 70 handcrafted, woodenhulled boats, from yachts to dinghies. Their grandfather was a wood worker. Further back, a Cutts opened the first shipyard in Maine in 1646; another saw many of his merchant ships sacked and burned by the British during the War of 1812. Their childhood home is a house on the Cutts and Case Shipyard property in Oxford, Md. Salt water and sawdust are in their veins.
