Ted Moores

Ted Moores (born June 25, 1943) is a Canadian boat builder, author, and educator.

[1] Moores is best known for duplicating a method of building canoes first developed in Minnesota by Irvin C. Peterson, Karl Ketter, and Eugene B. Jensen using woodstrip epoxy techniques, a style well-suited to the home builder.

[7] It continues to operate under the management of Moores and his partner Joan Barrett, selling boat building materials and hosting educational workshops.

[15] He has experimented with solar-powered designs on his 30' fantail launch Sparks[16] and worked on some high-profile restorations, including a hydroplane speedboat, Tempo VII, which had been owned and piloted by Guy Lombardo.
