What about setting up a boat building centre as well, and build stitch-and-glue boats. If you've got fibreglass, then you must be able to get plywood. The boat building could be a profit centre as well, would provide income (I would imagine) to a few builders, and would be a source of supply for boats for the training centre. It sounds like a worthwhile adventure. I wish you the best of luck with it! -- Darryl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
