When Nick was 3, his older brother got to paddle a homemade kayak called "Fang" on Cape Cod, but Nick was not allowed. Even 57 years later, he still remembers that rejection. At 10, his father built a kayak, but again, his brother got first use. Determined to change things, Nick designed his own sea kayak after college. For over 40 years, he has designed and built high-performance kayaks and small boats for himself and others. He's published two books on boat building, and his company, Guillemot Kayaks, has designs built worldwide, known for their performance and beauty. One of his kayaks is in the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. Nick builds boats out of a love for paddling and being on the water, paddling year-round along New England's coast. He also teaches boat building and kayaking, inspiring others to get on the water. While he still feels a twinge about never paddling Fang, he finds relief in paddling his own creations. |

Schoodic Point and Beyond: Sea Kayaking Maine’s “Bold Coast”
Quetico - main floor Sun 2:30pm-3:15pm
Maine's Bold Coast, with its rugged granite cliffs and countless hidden ledges, is a sea kayaker's dream. Merchant sailors once rode down-wind and east the southwesterly breezes from Boston to these dramatic Down East shores beyond Mount Desert Island, renowned for their striking granite cliffs, and exposed headlands. The region's vast tidal range, secluded bays, and offshore islands offer endless exploration for paddlers of all skill levels.
Nick has spent over 40 years weaving through rock gardens, gunkholing into secret coves, and exploring abandoned lighthouses along this untrampled coastline. In his presentation, he shares the highlights of the Bold Coast, tips for safe paddling in these dynamic waters, and resources to help you plan your own Down East kayaking adventure.
