Hardwood Management Robert Pen well- Management Forester Many woodlot owners have been approached by fuelwood contractors and log buyers to' obtain cutting rights to their woodlot.

Selected woodlots were identified identified on aerial photographs, landowners were contacted and field visits were carried out with the woodlot owners to discuss their forest management management options. Approximately 30 woodlots were selectively marked by ministry staff and advertised for sale in the Regional Timber Sales Notice, Frequent visits are made by ministry staff during cutting to insure the work is done according to the marking. marking.

J ■ A-•%. •„ -â-v,': ■■ ? •: • Theo Gerrits applies layers of fibreglass to thé keel of a 55-foot ketch he is building near Maple Grove. He estimates that it will take about five years to complete the two-masted ship. By Peter Parrott Bowmanville may be a long distance from salt water and tides, but a local boat-builder hasn't let that deter him from starting work on a 55-foot vessel which will be capable of sailing the seven seas. Theo Gerrits started construction construction of his ship in the fall, and hé estimates that he has put in 250 hours of work to date. He began with a wooden frame over which he is placing 1 seven layers of fibreglass to form the hull. It takes a special temporary shelter near Maple Grove to hold the ship during construction. By August or September, Mr. Gerrits hopes to have the fibreglass completed and at this time, he will be able to overturn the hull, remove the wooden frame inside, and start finishing the outer surface. surface. While Theo Gerrits has not sailed before, he has raced and constructed power boats. In fact, his current project represents the fifth boat which he has constructed. A builder by trade, he started started to build his first boat at age 16. He is working alone on his 55-foot masted ketch and works during his spare time. Plans indicate that the ship will take about 6,000 hours to complete. And Mr. Gerrits estimates that will translate into a total of about five years of work. The completed vessel will weigh about 42,000 pounds and . will require a special vehicle to move it to a suitable site for launching. However, ships of up to 100 feet have been successfully successfully moved by road, so no problem is foreseen in getting the landlocked vessel to its harbor. \\ Mr. Gerrits; says he has no specific ideal.-about where he will .sail his.' ship once the. construction is over. He has no plans in mind for a round-the- world cruise, for example. He prefers to wait until the craft nears completion before making plans for sailing it.
