HARWOOD WATER CRAFT
My idea is to make attractive wooden row/sail boats to compliment the Muskokan dockside, a companion for the canoe.
These light shapely hulls row efficiently. However, add a sail rig & enjoy the versatility of these attractive wooden craft. Either way, whether you sail or row these unique boats you are left with a peaceful undisturbed environment.
Why! I wanted to teach my children the joys of sailing. While sailing around Spain I had seen many children (& adults) learning to sail in harbours & anchorages in small light, simple, wooden boats having great fun. On returning home to Port Sydney, Muskoka, I thought "why haven't I seen similar craft on the lakes of Muskoka, Canada?" I decided to build them myself. (see History )
What! Small sail/row boats that can be easily car topped. Great beginner boats for the kids to learn the joys of sailing. These wooden boats will also row effectively & efficiently. Either choice will leave your surroundings undisturbed. Clean healthy fun for the kids, & adults, alike. (see Boats for Sale).
How! Harwood Water Craft are handcrafted using high quality mahogany marine ply wood, fastened with stainless steel screws and epoxy, belt & braces! All plywood edges are epoxy sealed. Seats and sailing "sticks" finished in varnish to accentuate the natural handcrafted beauty of the wood.
