Sheri Tingey, Owner, Alpaca Raft
Alpacka Raft started in the fall of 2000 as a
collaboration between Sheri Tingey, the design genius behind all of the
products, and her son Thor, who had just completed a 600-mile packrafting
traverse of Alaska’s Brooks Range and had some ideas for how to make a better
performing packraft. Her journey to starting her business began when they
received a second Ritt Kellog Fund grant and spent 39 days traversing 600-miles
of the Brooks Range, where they found that the packrafts they used were wholly
inadequate. Inspired by her trip, Sheri created her first boat that took the
packraft world by storm. However, her success didn’t come without its
challenges and hurtles, where you will leave this talk feeling inspired on how
Sheri overcame these obstacles and built for the future.
