Building a Rowing Shell

New Brunswick, NJ | January-July 2021

I participated in a community boat building project where we created a 20-foot long rowing shell using cedar-strip construction reinforced by fiberglass. I wrote a blog post about the experience for the managing organization, the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership.
