In previous years, the collection has included kayaks, skiffs, daysailers, canoes and much more by a variety of designers such as Iain Oughtred, Joel White, Chesapeake Light Craft, Arch Davis and William & John Atkin.
 
“I Built It Myself is a crowd favorite at the WoodenBoat Show and of all the community events Interlux sponsors throughout the year, one of the most enjoyable and inspirational,” said Interlux North America Marketing Manager Jim Seidel.
