Welcome to my woodenboat Site:
Here you will find pictures of wood boats that I have built
over the last twenty years or so. My boatbuilding career began when I was
fifteen years old with a five year apprenticeship in cabinetmaking alongside
a couple of the finest tradesmen in Ireland. I took this knowledge in woodworking
with me to Ardmore Boatyard on the shores of Lough Neagh in Co. Antrim
Nr, Ireland where I learned to apply it to boats. In 1970 my wife and I
immigrated to Canada where I established McClelland Boatworks in Kenora
Ontario. In 1987 we moved to Genoa Bay Vancouver Island and I continued
to build until 1992. I no longer build boats but I maintain some of the
ones I have built in the past. Through the years I have taken photos of
the boats that I built so this site is a good way to get them out of the
shoeboxes. I hope you find them interesting and maybe even inspire someone
to pick up their tools and head for the workshop. ---- Jim McClelland
