What: Boat Builder's Demo Day

When Saturday, April 17, 1999, ~1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (right after the Boat Builder's Forum below)

Where: Newport Aquatic Center

Bring your homebuilt boat or just bring yourself, and try out kayaks that others have built. This is the chance to test drive that kayak design you have been thinking of building. There should be a good variety of construction types: stripper, stitch n glue and skin on frame, as well as a variety of different designs. Also see homebuilt spray skirts, paddles and fishing setups. Don't miss it! For more info, visit the "Events" page on our web site at:

What: Boat Builder's Forum

When: Saturday, April 17, 1999, 10:00 am to 12:00 noon

Where: Southwind Kayak Center, http://www.southwindkayaks.com/

"Bring your home-built kayak, in any stage of completion and meet casually with other kayak builders and their boats on our front lawn. Everyone shares the experiences, joys and pains of building their own. Or just come to look and chat if you're contemplating building one yourself."

Please note that Kayak Builders of Southern California and Southwind Kayak Center are not affiliated in any way, and that this announcement is not an endorsement. We announce this event because it's one you donut want to miss, and we like to get together on the water right after the Boat Builder's Forum to try out each others’ boats.

Hope to see ya there. Jim Gabriel/Rick Rubio cofounders of the Kayak Builders of Southern California
