Pride and craftsmanship were on display at All Hands Boatworks' celebration launch on May 19. The celebration featured 11 wooden rowing boats that were built during the past year by Milwaukee youths from different schools and after-school programs. Also on display were two 15-foot canoes: one that was built by young men from the Nehemiah Project group home, and another that was built for AHB’s family boatbuilding workshop.

The celebration and launch took place on the Milwaukee River at the Milwaukee Rowing Club. AHB is grateful for the support of the Milwaukee Rowing Club and also the MPS Partnership for the Arts & Humanities. Participating groups:

Both canoes are well-suited to first-time builders. Both have elegant lines, but each one has its distinct features.
The Peace Canoe is a durable workhorse; according to its designer: “with a payload of 600 pounds, it will easily absorb a family of five and a hearty picnic lunch.”
The Six-Hour Canoe is a light-paddling craft,
easily carried atop a vehicle, and well-suited for
solo outings on lazy waters.

Fee:
Six-Hour Canoe: $550/$499 LSG or AHB members
Peace Canoe: $899/$835 LSG or AHB members

This is the fee for a team of two, and you keep the boat you make. Fees include all lumber, glues, fastenings, and a clear coat sealer. Tools will also be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own. Participants will provide their own paints/varnish (to be finished at home) and oars. 
No previous experience necessary.

Registration: This workshop is ideally suited for one adult and one child (ages 10-17) or two adults. Space is limited to four teams. Advance registration and payment in full is required.
