We encourage our community to experience heritage in a way that you can sail, build, and explore. In thanks to the opening of the Wagner Education Center, The Center for Wooden Boats is now able to put more of our collections on display. From dynamic gallery installations to boat hanging exhibits, CWB is able to offer a peek into the world of maritime heritage like never before. OUR boathouse is open on saturdays from 10AM to 2PM for kid’s toy boat building, a free activity with a $5 suggested donation.

No matter what you build for shelter, or where you store your boat, the focus should be on keeping a balance of moisture both inside and outside of the hull.

You likely gave the boat a good cleansing before painting, but that’s never good enough. Sanding dust finds homes in plank seams and at the junction of your keel and floor timbers; vacuum these areas using a crevice tool and a brush attachment. Water will pass more remote control boat freely through limber holes if there’s not a lot of debris sloshing around in the bilge. A clean bilge will also help keep the pump from clogging. If you don’t have the time to prepare for and apply enough coats of varnish, you might think about another strategy.

We met our guides early, which allowed us to be among the first on the river affording us the best opportunity to see more bald eagles than we could count and amazing view of the Tetons at sunrise. The chilly temperatures did not bother us as we were given warm wool blankets to sit on and wrap around ourselves.
