The 2007 Portland Wooden Boat Show   
The 2007 Portland Wooden boat Show, held at the RiversWest shop at Pier 99 was a great success.  We had lots of boats, both on the water and on land.  The children's boatbuiding tent was a major attraction, and many of the children as well as their parents, enjoyed sightseeing on the river in the Hall Templeton.  One of the highlights was the electric version of the barrellback from Edison Electric, a Portland based company producing these beautiful zero-emission boats.  Go to www.edison-marine.com for more information.  Click on this link to the 2007 Wooden Boat Show to see more boats from the show

New Location:
We've moved from Oaks Park to the lower level of the Pier 99 building on North Portland Harbor.  We'll be at the shop the first and third Saturdays (9 - 1) for a while, until everything is shipshape at the new shop.  Click here for directions.

Shop space is available at the new shop.   Build a boat at the new RiversWest Shop.  Email  Peter Wilcox or Tim Litton for information.

The Willamette Ferry Feasibility Study is complete, using the Historic Crater Lake launches and is being circulated amon City Council members.  In a very encouraging development, Seattle has launch a "Foot Ferry" program that is very similar to the Willamette Ferry project.    member of the Boatbuilding Ring
