This Week in Small Craft: January 6th, 2026

A quick ripple of what’s been floating around lately. Small Craft Sales sat down with owner and self-proclaimed “head glue sniffer” Zach Sack of Inflatable Technologies to talk blown seams, bomber fixes and why he’s widely considered the national raft repair specialist. Chesapeake Light Craft dropped a must-read primer on stitch-and-glue boat maintenance. The Wooden Boat School released their 2026 course schedule. Plus, a new book on constructing a solo whitewater dory just landed, Bobby Nachos keeps getting delightfully painterly with The Outboard Originals and Hyde Drift Boats pulled back the curtain on a deep, and dangerously tempting, set of 2026 color options.
