Rossiter Boats
Thirty-five years ago, George Rossiter decided he didnt want to be a doctor like both his parents, or a fast-track business whiz like most of his friends. He wanted to build boats. And stubbornly, thats what he did. He built rowing boats not the little square-bottom thing that gets you from the dock to the yacht, but sleek, streamlined boats, through which a person could find both fitness and peace. He studied marine architecture, and built his boats for the ultimate in style and function, using fibreglass for his hulls and teak to embellish his decks. He built hydrodynamic, smooth-in-the water boats, and created innovations like adjustable seats and foot rests, that others should have thought of but never did.
They are a professional fibreglass production boatshop and offer custom design and repairs on small watercraft and other items. Their boats are in use all over North America and around the world. They are easily trailered or carried on top of a car. Growing up in the Thousand Islands Scott rowed his grandparents wooden St Lawrence skiff and started and ran a windsurfing shop and school while still in his teens. Then the real world beckoned and he made his way into advertising and communications marketing products from Minwax to flour to financial services. But boats kept calling him and in 1993 he answered and attended the celebrated Landing School of Boat Building and Design in Kennebunkport, Maine where he graduated with honours in Yacht Design and Boat Building.
