When someone mentions Maine Built Boats, certainly a distinct image comes to mind. I picture a weathered old man with a white beard diligently plaining away at boards as he calmly puffs a wooden pipe. The skeleton of a wooden boat is dimly lit by a few small windows where snow gently falls to the ground outside. For some boat builders, this imagine isn’t romantic, it’s just reality.
Maine Built Boats is
a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthen and expand the
awareness of our industry. Their campaign is dedicated to show the
beauty and artistry not only in the finished product, but also as a
process, a journey. For more information visit Maine Built Boats. Or join the news letter
There is no doubt that Back Cove is the ‘new kid on the block’, however we still feel a strong connection to our roots and those builders who are still doing it ‘old school‘. Yes, as we evolve and become integrated with the new technologies, at the end of the day are all still cut from the same cloth, we all still share a common thread: a passion for building strong, beautiful, quality boats.
