Boat Building Club in Nebraska

[Richard C. Sposato]

I am building a drift dory and am interested in joining a wooden boat building club

Building a boat in Nebraska, eh. You must think its gonna rain again sometime.

I've added your email address to the Boats-of-Wood, world headquarters David City, NE emailing list. BOW cannot be characterized as a club. We are just a loosly knit group which is made up of people with wooden boats or with an interest in same. We usually get together a couple of times a year at Branched Oak lake for chitchat, a picnic and some time on the water however, several attempts to formally organize have failed. A couple of the BOW group hang out here.

The Antique and Classic Boat Society has two chapters in Iowa: Iowa Great Lakes and Iowa. The former is mostly NW Iowa and SE South Dakota folks. I am sure they have NE participants as well. www.acbs.org

(I'm in Lincoln and have built a sailboat. Am considering starting another
