What's NewRiversWest has moved!We have moved our shop to the Green Anchors site in St John’s, on the banks of the Willamette, just downriver from the St John’s bridge adjacent to Cathedral Park (8940 N Bradford St, Portland, OR). We have moved all of our equipment, and are in the process of setting up our new shop.
We are currently constructing a roof structure that will make the building space weather proof. We will add photos of our work in progress to the Gallery, so you can follow along. There is also more information about our move in our latest newsletter. 
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

Since 1991, 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:
