DIY Sailboat Summit 2014


From our friends at boatpunk.com:

Boat Punk D.I.Y/Do It Together Sailboat Meetup 2014.

For better or worse, we have all been failed by another string of foretold apocalypses and hardships.  We struggle and endure.  Never the less, we like to have our funs. Now we take this bag of fate and run with it like we stole it, back to the waterways! Organized or otherwise, Rio Dulce will be hosting another infestation of friends learning from each others' mistakes and experimenting with new ideas.

Very much like the early stage planning of our last, and as of yet only, organized rally of its kind, it's the involvement from the whole group that makes it a free and worthy adventure.  So far our friends on the Fata Morgana, as well as our resident friends, are there now ready and willing to start setting up. Sturgeon has plans for entertainment. Cherri is kicking ass on flyers and facebook. Matt is building and hosting a new website that has the potential to keep projects rolling along smoothly, and maybe putting together a crowdfunding page. steve has been out on the roads and seas keeping the dreams alive. Lots of people have been working really hard on boats and skills.

Good people built the 2012 summit.  Good people changed their lives since the last meetup. The Challenge is the same. Get the newly acquired boats out of the country and underway in time to inspire and share with other good people.

Commitments and suggestions can be dished out on the 2012 googlegroup, or on the boatpunk.com message board.  A pdf's of flyers can be printed from boatpunk.com.
