What's New2020 FBB and PWBS cancelledThe RiversWest Board has reluctantly made the decision to cancel the 2020 Family Boat Build & Portland Wooden Boat Show, originally planned for June 27 and 28. We feel that our highest priority has to be the safety and well-being of our members, boat building families and the public. We can’t guarantee that outcome even if we postponed the event to the fall. These events will be back in 2021, coronavirus willing.
Crater Lake boats are still available
The two 40' Atkin designed launches, that were built for and originally used on Crater Lake, are still available to anyone willing and able to take them off our hands. More details here
Join us... 2010 Family Boat Build
Since 1983, RiversWest Small Craft Center has been promoting the use of sustainable, beautiful boats built to operate on the human scale. For some of our members, that means restoring historically correct wooden boats. For others, it is a chance to design and build with the support and input of a like-minded group.
Many enjoy the camaraderie of “messing about” on the water. We all benefit from the chance to learn from one another. We are often inspired to get our hands busy building, paddling, rowing, motoring or sailing small craft. RiversWest members enjoy: Access to wood shop and rental space for boat building and repairs. Workshops in boat building, maritime crafts and tool making. Boating related social functions. Learn how to become a member here Event calendar |
