Dreamcatcher Boats are ideal boats for kids to make because they can be built easily with a minimum of sawing and hammering.
Wood, ready for building the boat frame
Once the wood for the frame has been milled, which you can have done at any lumber yard, the frame is lashed together. They are also light and easy to carry. Just this week Toby (12 years old) finished building his own boat (with a little help from Mom and Dad).
And here’s Dad, enjoying thge lightness of the boat!
This one weighed in at 26lbs, so Toby won’t have any trouble getting it down to the water by himself. The frame is covered with ballistic nylon (kevlar) which makes it almost impossible to pierce, so Toby should still be happily paddling this boat when he’s 112!
