Jim Ritter is the owner and founder of Ancora Yacht Service, which he started in 1987. When he made his first canoe in 1976, he discovered his love for boats and woodworking and pursued his interest through repairing, building and drafting a variety of vessels.
Since then he has become a shipwright and a refined woodworker, working in boats of all kinds and sizes. Ancora Yacht Service offers plans for canoes and guideboats.
