Lecture: The World's Best Kayaks Come from Västervik

NOTE: Registration required in advance at tkf@vasterviksmuseum.se

How has a small kayak workshop in Västervik managed to build kayaks that have dominated Olympic and World Championship courses and participated in expeditions around the globe? Kåre Ankervik from Vituddens Kanotvarv shares 101 years of kayak building, craftsmanship and innovation - the stories of the people, the boats and the history behind one of Sweden's most iconic kayak builders.

Coffee and pastries are served after the lecture.

The lecture is a collaboration between Tjustbygdens Kulturhistoriska Förening and Svenska Turistföreningen. Admission is sponsored by Tjustbygdens Kulturhistoriska Förening and refreshments by Svenska Turistföreningen.
