The Mckenzie River Discovery Center (MRDC) is holding 2 riverboat structure classes in April: the McKenzie River Wander Boat (April 22-26), and the Diablo Canyon (April 29– May 9), a re-creation of Keith Steele’s very first Colorado River dory for Martin Litton in 1962. Both workshops will be at the MRDC website where Keith Steele constructed both boats. Teaching the 5-day McKenzie boat workshop is the popular Jayson Hayes, Hayes Customized Wood Boats. Teaching the 10-day Diablo workshop is the vibrant duo of Brad Dimock and Cricket Rust, Fretwater Boatworks.
