Be brave and build your own boat

Build your own rowing boat! New wooden boat enthusiasts can build their own rowing boats from pre-cut parts with the help of clear instructions! In spring 2026, Vendia Woods will launch a boat building kit that speeds up the boat building process.

Shavings
Even though the parts have been milled into shape, shavings are still produced when planing the bevels.

The boat building kit compiled by Vendia for amateur boatbuilders contains everything you need:

We deliver CNC machined boat planks, keel parts, and sealing compound to the builder.

The kit also includes the necessary copper nails, rivets, other fasteners, scrapers, oars, paddles, and pegs, as well as surface treatment materials.

The hobby boat builder planes the bevels, fits the planks, and assembles the benches.

We rent out the necessary building frames and jigs to builders, which make it easier to turn the boat during the different stages of construction.

We recommend purchasing four planks longer than 5 meters near the construction site.  

The package includes detailed illustrated instructions. In addition, we can arrange a virtual meeting where the builder can ask for advice if necessary.

The Vendia boat, made of Pälkänen pine, is easy to own and use. The boat's planks do not crack, and spring maintenance takes less than an hour. In addition, the wooden boat is environmentally friendly as it does not produce microplastic or fiberglass emissions. The Vendia boat has a negative carbon footprint, so it does not increase carbon emissions.

The price of the boat package is €3,200 (including 25.5% VAT), which includes the construction frames and two months' rental of the construction jig.
