HOWB 005 – Corey Freedman, Skin Boat Expert & Instructor - Interview - 10/20/11
Interview with Corey Freedman – Skin Boats I had a fascinating interview with Corey. He tell’s how he became interested in boats during his youth in Massachusetts, how he saw his first “skin boat” in a museum, and how his life and career were never the same after that. Corey’s website is Skin Boats, and his phone number is (360) 299-0804. On another note: I was able to locate the owner of the “Spirit Canoe” (listen to HOWB #002) that I sold in 2008. The owner paddles it on the Hudson River in NY and loves it. I am really happy to track it down since I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into that boat! ------------------------ You can contact me at woodenboatdan@gmail.com to share you comments, feedback, stories, and wooden boat adventures.
