Boat Events, Wooden boat messabouts, upcoming events.
In 2009 I went to the USA for a series of events and talks. I was partly funded by the sailing community including many of my friends in the wider homebuilt boat community. This is the treasure trove of photos from across the USA featuring people who build their own boats and also some of the museums and cities that make the USA great.
A camping get together for Goat Island Skiffs, other storerboats and friends and fans and other boats. Three or Four days camping by the water with friendly people. Interesting in building a Goat or actually building one … all are very welcome.
The TEXAS 200 sailing event is on again. A 200 mile sail and camping trip up the Texas coast that runs every year.
I am going to be in town, so would be crazy not to attend. This is a call for all interested storerboats to consider attending.
Michael Storer will be attending the 2011 Woodenboat Show in Mystic Seaport. He will be running a workshop for families building the Quick Canoe – choice of either the electric or the paddling versions along with Duckworks and J.O. Woodworking.
There is a new website for the Loire trip in France 2011.
It has been a bit traumatic putting it together, but it seems to be working now.
Sailing on Lake Eufala, Oklahoma
The wonderful Sail OK event with hosts Jackie and Michael Monies
All wooden boats welcome! Or friends!
Want to travel down the Loire River in France? A group on the Duckworks forum are planning to build a bunch of quick build boats, possibly including the Quick Canoe for a 14 day trip.
Everyone covers their own expense. Maybe September.
I was sitting in Chuck’s car as we were driving to the Lake Conroe Messabout. I knew that he had some plans for the Texas 200 event – to extend the concept and starting a new small boat festival on the Texas coast in a couple of years.
This is a podcast of that interview.
