Getting Started In Boats, the new publication from WoodenBoat!

All of us who read WoodenBoat are passionate about our craft, whether building, rowing, paddling, sailing, power-boating, or simply working on our boats.

Do you remember when you were first introduced to boats, and when your passion began to develop? Now you have a way to share this passion, and to bring this same level of joy to new people.

In every issue of WoodenBoat this year, we will include the new supplement, Getting Started. This publication is produced for your family, friends, and neighbors, members of local community groups, colleagues at work — the people you know who should be inspired into boats and boating. Getting Started is produced for the absolute beginner.

The Getting Started Blog — The purpose of this service is to serve as the forum for comments and questions about the publication and its boats and projects. We will post photographs here, and have a forum for you to post photos and details of your boat! Additional design information for the Lumberyard Skiff is here as well.

Dictionary — We are building a dictionary of words or expressions that occur in Getting Started.
