The Vermont Packboat is similar in construction detail to our Adirondack Guideboat… but with hard-chines. (Chines are creases or corners installed in the hull that make the boat more stable than it would be otherwise.) It has three seats and will carry one good-sized adult, or two medium sized adults or one adult and one or two smallish children.

We shot this video clip in the Old Port of Montreal. We were doing a show on the water….Jacques hadn’t rowed anything in 40 years….and had never rowed a boat like ours. Yet, it seems as if he and the Vermont Packboat became instant friends. After playing with the boat for 10 minutes or so….among other things, Jacque rowed against the rush of water as they opened the canal lock. A short while later our former president, David Rosen, went out to join in the fun.
Regarding the race….to be fair, David was too near the stone wall at the side of the lock and really couldn’t get going until the race was pretty much over. But that’s not the point…just watch how effortlessly Jacques makes the little boat fly across the water. (It seems as if the video has been sped up….but this is all real time.)
