Boat builder

Just as Skaneateles celebrates is 100 years of sailing, one native appreciates being around boats his entire life.

Shipwright Jeffrey Reid became inspired by friends creating kayaks in their basement and began to think about making vessels out of wood. He also became close with staffers at Mid-Lakes Navigation and frequently saw the classic wooden vessel the company uses for the dinner cruise.

In 1992, Reid graduated from State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse with a degree in wood products engineering.
