HOWB 009 – Rich Kolin, Boat Builder & Designer, Mentee of John Gardner and Pete Culler - Interview - 11/17/11

This week I interviewed Rich Kolin who lives on Camano Island, WA. Rich began building boats as a young lad in California under the tutelage of influential builders and designers John Gardner and Pete Culler. Eventually he moved to the northwest where he continued to hone his boat building and designing skills, began teaching classes and wrote several books. Oh, and did I mention he learned the art of carving along the way!

One of his most popular designs is the Heidi Skiff of which he wrote a book - Building Heidi (available on Amazon).
