Kyle Leaverton, a boardman from *Mystery *and film student at Wilmington University, is making a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes as a whole and need yours help! Kyle is looking to interview anyone involved in Log Canoeing, especially those who have owned and sailed for many years. He is also looking for any pictures and stories, which I’m sure there are quite a lot out there! And if anyone has any footage/video of a Log Canoe under sail or a race that would be awesome as well.

Kyle will be available from April 3rd to April 10th to interview anyone interested in participating in this project.

***Update: *[06/20/2010] *Jay Dee is all finished and was luanhced friday June 19th at the MRYC, she is sitting on her trailer and Canoes Harbor awaiting the start of the racing season. *

The mighty Jay Dee was taken to Campbell’s Boat Yard in Oxford hauled out of the water flipped over and stripped of her fiberglass in the effort to remove excess water and preserve her for generations to come. The project will take most of the winter and is very exciting for the fleet to keep the Canoes maintained and racing!

Check back often as I will be updating the slide show as the progress continues.. {Updated 06/20/2010} [pictobrowser 23882489@N04 72157622441336493]

From Duke Adams, “John West, foretender and boardman on Patricia and then Oliver’s gift for over 35 years died early January 2010 from pancreatic cancer. He was a great friend, crew mate, and honest gentleman and will be missed by all that knew him. -Crew of Oliver’s gift”

Edmee S. will be sailing all day at the small craft festival, and she will also be taking on guests who want to experience sailing a Chesapeake Bay Log Canoe!

“Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival Saturday, October 3, 10am-5pm

One of the most popular gatherings of small and unique water craft in the U.S. – the 27th Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival –takes place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum on Saturday, October 3, from 10:00am – 5:00pm.

More than 200 unique small craft will be on display, including kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, rowing shells, sailing skiffs, prams and the unusual “one-of-a-kinds.” Proud boat owners – many who hail from ports up and down the East Coast—will offer boat building demonstrations as well sailing, paddling, and rowing competition. The  Museum’s boat yard staff, and instructors from the Chesapeake Wooden Boat Builders School,  will also be on hand to offer maritime demonstrations.”
