In 1983, he built his first boat, a small canoe. Since then he has built more than 50 small boats, including kayaks, canoes, rowing boats, and small sailboats. In 1996 he founded Shearwater Boats (www.shearwater-boats.com) to offer custom canoes and kayaks. Gradually Shearwater has developed to the point where it offers an extensive line of stitch-and-glue watercraft—kayaks, canoes, rowing boats, and sailboats. Eric has also designed a line of new boats offered by the Chesapeake Light Craft company (www.CLCboats.com) Eric has taught boat building classes in Norwalk, Connecticut and at the WoodenBoat School In Brooklin, Maine with something like 150 boats built by his students.
