Our second Wooden Boatopia Council meeting brought two new members into the fold — Belinda Joslin and Elizaveta Kaluzhskaia — joining Hanneke Boon, Obi and Otto from Blue Tree Boat Builders, and Angie, and the conversation immediately widened in useful ways.

A big chunk of the discussion focused on Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) and the ongoing challenge of applying them meaningfully to wooden boats and why we're dedicated to contributing to submitting data to help improve LCAs.

Each council session reinforces that we’re not working in isolation. There is plenty of space for wooden boat builders to come together, share knowledge, and still make their mark in the industry.
