Skills that create
& preserve a way of life.
The New England Wooden Boat Preservation Foundation wants to nourish and educate those who want to care for a small, very important piece of what humanity has created and continues to create. Our water planet has mandated that humans learn how to use rivers, lakes, and oceans to explore and achieve. To explore we created boats and for most of our existence those boats were made from wood. Some continue to be made from wood. The foundation will use the preservation and creation of wooden boats to reach that group of humans, young and old, who are drawn to efficient shapes, necessary design, and creativity that has resulted in some of the most beautiful and functional structures humanity has created.
