Get Outdoors – Volunteer with us, June 8th at Moraine State Park

SATURDAY 8TH June is GET OUTDOORS DAY. We need volunteers for an information Booth to answer questions. We expect the Puddle Duck fleet to be active on land and water and we will be demonstrating how to build Puddle Ducks, Optimists and SIX HOUR CANOES. We are planning to build these canoes at a mass Family Boat Building Event during the Regatta at lake Arthur on August 3rd and 4th.

This will be a good opportunity to get the word out about the Regatta which will include Sunfish Races, Puddle Duck Team races and a big Eco Friendly Quadratholon incorporating Cycling, Canoeing, running and Kayaking by teams of 5 to say nothing of the Saturday night Fireworks best seen over the water from a boat.

The Get Outdoors events will be based on the North Shore at the Lakeview swimming area starting at 10 am and continuing ’til 4 pm If you can help please give John a call at 724 625 9348 or email brimor@aol.com

 

New Address, Same Puddle Ducking Fun

This site began as a resource for the Puddle Duck Worlds in 2012, which was hosted at Moraine State Park / Lake Arthur, Portersville, PA.

The “Worlds” have moved on to Canada! But we’re still building Puddle Ducks (and Optimists, and other fun wooden sailing craft). So this site will now be used to share information about sailing and building opportunities in the Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, West Virginia Area.

Let us know if there are events we should promote. Come join us or invite others for a sail at Lake Arthur / Yellow Creek State Park / Pymatuning / Glendale Lake or wherever it is you call home.

A very Happy New Year to all of Y’uns. For those interested in Puddle Ducking, here are some upcoming highlights
