Oarlock and Sail Wooden Boat Club

The AGM was held April 13, 2017 and the new board is up and running. One of our board members left, thanks Peter Pierobon and we welcome Daniel Freisen. All the rest of us got voted back on and look forward to another year of boating and building.

Leif Arntzen our member in New York with Polaris has his new mast stepped and here are a few more pics leading up to that.

The whiskey plank on the Buttonswan is being planned for April 29th if all goes well.

One of our members, Leif Arntzen has a 41′ Concordia Sloop named Polaris in New York and was lamenting to another of our members Arnt Arntzen, who happens to be his brother how he was feeling a bit overwhelmed re-gluing his mast. Having helped his other brother, member Tom Arntzen and member Rob O’Dea build a completely new mast for ERN, he donned his cape and flew out east to help out. Here are a few photos from the fix.
