I just got back from the WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, Maine after teach a five and a half day class on building "Fine Strip-Planked Boats". It was a great group of students who came from as far away as Israel and as close as Castine, ME, with others from Texas and Arkansas in between. We built my Mystic River Tandem canoe design and the microBootlegger. Above is a time lapse video of the canoe build.
Every year, kayak enthusiasts from all over come together at Bluff Point State Park in Groton, Connecticut, for a free and open event. It’s a great place to learn about different kayak designs and techniques, and it’s perfect for beginners and even those who are just starting to paddle.
