The Maine Boatbuilder's Show, Portland







Temperature, 68 degrees, sunny, great boats, friendly folks, even great food upstairs with a great view of the harbor.  ZOGO (above)was  a custom designed and built boat with fantastic woodworking and detail.  Boats of all kinds from pure wooden boats built with native materials like Pulsifers to carbon fiber/kevlar canoes.  By and large the builders themselves were there to answer questions about their designs and happy to chat with folks.  Met a lovely lady who had been a Vermonter and now owns a boat yard on Cranberry Island.
