There has been extensive News coverage of our Canoe building courses this summer. YLE covered the course with a focus on our youngest participant Elsa.

There is also a very nice Blog Story about our June course. Pekka Lassila was attending the June course and documented it really well.

We are taking reservations for the next Summers courses already. Get in touch if you want to build your very own Finnia Canoe!

We have got nice greetings from the US. The first VENDIA planks ever were shipped to the USA on September, 2018. 


Steve from Blue Hill, Maine has taken a big challenge and is building Sjogin IIIa, a seaworthy daysailer. The first VENDIA planks are now on and Steve has been very pleased with VENDIA and the quality of it. Planks plane like real wood, bend fine and smell good too, Steve says.

We have got greetings from Scottish boat builder Adrian Morgan who was fascinated by VENDIA marine plank already few years ago. Now he has built a 17ft Arctic Tern for a Swiss family to Lake Geneva. The boat is designed by Iain Oughtred. “The Swiss have very strict rules before allowing boats to Lake Geneva so it requires also a lot from the material”, says Adrian.
