S O U T H E R N A boat that's also a shoe The May 1998 issue of Mainebiz had a short feature on the 18-foot "Dockside Shoe Boat," which was commissioned by Sebago Inc., manufacturer of the Dockside boat shoe.

The "boat" was equipped with both a sail and a four-horsepower engine. One thing Greene said he learned from the project, which involved scaling up a Size 8 shoe to an 18-foot-by-7-foot boat: Unlike a boat, which is symmetrical on each side, a shoe isn't the same on both sides.
