Woodenboat family boatbuilding - Storer Electric canoe

The event is held yearly and families are involved in building a range of boats from different designers.   I am participating in running a class to build the Quick Canoe Electric version using kits sold by Duckworks and J.O. Woodworks.

Build a Quick Canoe Electric with Woodenboat and Michael Storer June 2011

The boat takes a standard trolling motor and works very nicely giving speeds of 5 to 7 mph with a good range.

Details about the costs are available from J.O. Woodworks

We are all pretty excited.

A nice bonus is a number of storerboats will be coming.  It looks like a couple of Goat Island Skiffs will be in the “I built it myself” display.  If you have built one of my designs and wish to participate or attend please have a look at the Woodenboat website for the event.

For up to date info on who is attending you can check my forum thread on the Family Boatbuilding and Woodenboat show at Mystic Seaport
