~ Attention: Teachers and Mentors- The boat plans and boatbuilding manual featured on my website have proven to be highly effective teaching tools for use in industrial arts classes, boatbuilding schools, adult education, and a variety of community and youth development programs. Activities that challenge both hand and mind, teach valuable occupational skills, encourage teamwork and cooperation, and result in a product that inspires a sense of pride and accomplishment can be valuable academic and community resources. My boats are all designed for the amateur builder, and by using my book as a guide, the instructor requires no prior boatbuilding experience. And, there are many opportunities for interdisciplinary instruction because building a wooden boat typically involves a host of related skills.

~ Help Available- When you embark on a Jordan Wood Boats project, you are always welcome to call, write or send email with questions about your project. We will do everything we can to make your boatbuilding experience fun and rewarding.
~ Cradle Boat Kits- For those who would like a one-source supplier for all the materials needed to create your own heirloom cradle boat, Papoose is now available as a kit. For more information and ordering, please go to the "Cradle Boats" page.
Happy Sailing,
