SUMMARY:Introduction to Wooden Boatbuilding
DESCRIPTION:The introductory wooden boatbuilding class provides hands-on experience with fundamental boatbuilding concepts. The course teaches students to select wood\, design a boat\, and use various techniques like steam bending\, planking (carvel or lapstrake)\, and fastening to construct a small boat. The curriculum covers basic design\, essential tools\, safe workshop practices\, and the properties of wood\, culminating in a small project that builds confidence for independent boatbuilding. \nClass runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Class fee is $200 ($180 for Friends of the Museum). Minimum age is 16. Course size is limited\, and advance registration is required. Register below or by calling 252-504-7758.
