 Posted on January 22nd, 2010I have so engaged in designing and building that I haven’t been on the computer as much in the PMs. I have clearly been missing out on what some of our traditional boat peeps have been putting up. In case you missed it directly, here is some stuff to check out: Indigenous Boats Category: 2. Designs & Designers, 3. Boatbuilding, 4. Boating, 5. Boat Media |

They seem to build a couple nice-looking canoes and rowing boats and offer kits and classes. Worth checking out further. Posted on April 21st, 2009OK – its best I admit it.

One comment | Trackback this Post Posted on December 16th, 2008I was able to get in a quick peek at the National Museum of the American Indian, which keeps a few traditional boats in its rotunda. I have written about the semi-traditional Inuit kayak before, but I didn’t have a shot of the completed boat. Here she is. The boat is pretty and definitely [...] Posted on October 6th, 2008The Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival is pretty contained, but there are a number of boats to see, so it took me a bit before I wandered over to the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association tent. This seems like a cool organization. Their site has a master list of canoe plans, a suppliers [...] Posted on October 5th, 2008Here are most of the other pictures I took at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival. Category: 2.
