who, if you left them on an island on Penobscot Bay for a month or two with a couple of axes and a Swiss Army knife, could probably build you a schooner. Or at least a Friendship sloop. Teach you how to sail the thing, as well. And show your six-year-old how to have huge fun rowing the dinghy. Offcenter harbor has developed a series of great lively videos packed with authentic know-how on a bunch of salty, boat-oriented topics, including this one, on teaching kids to row.
No better introduction to do-it-yourself boating, sailing, building. If you can't make it downeast this summer, a trip to offcenterharbor could be the next best thing.
