Ehlers Build Sailboat Dream From Bennington to World
The Ehlers family of Bennington plans a self built wooden sailboat for a grand lake voyage from Lake Champlain to the Gulf of Mexico. Ed Sr. and his children supervise construction amid rising costs while vows to maintain family unity and record the journey for future "how to" essays. The project, begun with a lightning class boat restoration, combines craft, travel goals, and a thirst for distant destinations including the Galapagos and New Zealand.
