The Sunnyland Chapter of the ACBS at the last annual meeting approved the first phase of a youth mentoring program. Richard Arnold, of RejuvenationWoodworks agreed to serve as director of the program. The first phase will be held at the next annual wooden boat Festival on Lake Dora, Tavares Florida. Several teams of young people will be mentored inthe building of a small and easy to build hydroplane boat. the mentoring sessions will start in January to teach the young people Basic Skills in boat building. Members of these teams will then build the boat in a day, on site, at the Wooden Boat Festival. Sponsors are welcome to join, as did Mercury Marine. Mercruiser donated 4 brand-new 9.9 outboard motors with cable steering gear, controls, and fuel tanks. The prototype is currently being developed at the shop. We encourage everyone to get involved.
