If you need a dead line to finish your boat, there isn't a better reason to get it done than to show it to other builders at the Meet at the Beach.
Chesapeake Light Craft's annual gathering of boat builders is happening again this year. I'll be bringing down some boats and signing books.
Here is what John Harris of CLC has to say about the event:
The process of strip building canoes and kayaks is generally considered to be the best for small light-weight craft. It is also undoubtedly the nicest looking construction method for this sized boat.
This is a great show held in an old locomotive repair shop in Portland, Maine. I'll bring a small selection of boats to this show.
Go home with your own beautiful wooden kayak paddle. This class will occur over 4 consecutive Thursday evenings. You will make a modern wide-blade laminated wooden kayak paddle.
