I was just informed of a great organization located in St. Paul, MN. The Urban Boatbuilders, Inc. is a non-profit organizaton that takes in urban youth and builds beautiful wooden boats! Check out their website at http://urbanboatbuilders.org/. They have a ton of great pictures of their process!
Not only do they build these beautiful boats, they also take them on an annual 80-mile trip down the Mississippi River. You can make donations to this trip and/or the organization through their website. They also sell the boats!
I found this organization very inspirational and love the cause and thought I would share it.
Does anyone know of other similar organizations or boat building workshops?
That’s a very cool program and they build some beautiful boats! Thanks for the link. 😎
I was actually taught that, in fast moving water, the more experienced paddler should be in the bow for the reasons PK expressed. I would guess, though, that means a lot of backpaddling and slow going as it gives the bow paddler more control.
