Salt Pond Rowing

After 10 years with Brooklin Boatyard, Joe Thompson left to start a new boat building and retail shop in Sedgwick, Maine. Salt Pond Rowing offers a selection of rowing and sailing vessels including prams, skiffs, dinghies, dories, wherries, and recreational rowing shells as well as oars and rowing accessories.

Joe specializes in glued plywood lapstrake construction using high quality marine plywood and solid wood with West epoxy resin. Designs come from the drawing boards of John Brooks, Joel White, and Joe Thompson.  Accessories include custom spoon oars, stock oars, oarlocks, leathers, gunwale guard, and wheel dollies. The shop at the corner of 172 and Hales Hill Rd. is open by appointment or by chance.
