Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
Here's an update for the presentation Saturday night by Bob Holtzman;
Building every kind of canoe … in 10,000 years or less Bob Holtzman
Throughout history and prehistory, canoes have been built in seven fundamentally different ways: dugout, plank-on-frame, sewn plank, skin-on-frame, bark, basket, and balloon. These different building approaches have yielded canoe types of such diversity that we question whether “canoe” even signifies a definable boat type – a notion that will be addressed in a preamble. We will survey all the basic methods of canoe construction and attempt to show how each method evolved from its indigenous, prehistoric roots into a vast variety of historic canoe types, including every type that exists in the present. Bob Holtzman writes the blog Indigenous Boats (indigenousboats.com). He works as an editor and writer and is president of Mythic Gear (mythicdrysuits.com), a drysuit manufacturer in Rockport, Maine.

WCHA UK
Just to bring you up to speed on my presentation on the Wednesday after lunch I will be covering the following topics with a narrated photographic slideshow presentation.
WCHA in the UK:-
What we paddle in terms of the varied craft which made their way to the UK along with new wood/canvas canoes and strip built canoes.
A brief history of canoeing in the UK
Access ( a hot potato over here in the UK)
Where we paddle ie different types of environment.
How we meet, paddle & share information
Who is building what in terms of canoes and paddles
Hopefully an entertaining, after lunch presentation being delivered right hand drive, in English and without sub-titles!
See you all in a few weeks. I am the guy with a beard and Tilly hat
