Bear Mountain Boat Shop |
We have been helping people build their own canoes, kayaks and small boats for over 30 years. Our customers are woodworkers and paddlers who deserve and expect professional results the first time. As commercial boat builders, we know that using wood has many advantages: stiffness, high strength to weight ratio, and it is available in most parts of the world. We believe that the monocoque structure which is created when a wood core is sandwiched between layers of fiberglass cloth and marine epoxy, is ideal for one-off small boat construction. Using the techniques we have developed in our workshop will give your project the advantage of our experience building and restoring some of the finest wooden watercraft. Whether you choose to build using the woodstrip/epoxy technique or plywood/epoxy stitch and glue, we can provide you with the shortest route to the best result.

The Vintage Road Racing Association (VRRA), Canada's classic and vintage roadracing association, was founded in 1980 by a group of enthusiasts who just wanted to get their treasured machines back on the track. Their avowed purpose: to ensure the preservation of racing motorcycles and to maintain the traditions of racing vintage, and now classic, motorcycles in Canada. The Association has grown and flourished in the ensuing years and now actively promotes four racing events to encourage and expand participation in the sport. The VRRA is the only motorcycle association in Canada devoted solely to classic and vintage road racing - encompassing 1940s to 1980s machines - and is the oldest such organization in North America. |
