FOYC helped organize a community boat-building activity with six local families. Organized by FOYC co-chair Ken Sherwood with the expertise of John Bridges, from the Moraine State Park Sailing Club, six boats were build in one weekend. Puddle Duck Racer is a simple, pram-style sailboat made of out of simple plywood with economical sails and hardware. The budget is to complete a boat for less than $150. The boats are celebrated as good for learning how to sail but can be fitted with larger sails to entertain the aspiring racer. More information and free plans for PuddleDucks can be found at PDRacer.com A Puddle Duck race will be held at the next Septemberfest.
