SUMMARY:Introduction to Wooden Boatbuilding
DESCRIPTION:The introductory wooden boatbuilding class provides hands-on experience with fundamental boatbuilding concepts.

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.

The course focuses on teaching basic woodworking and assembly skills. The class is designed for beginners and is a collaborative effort for families or small teams. Each participating team assembles a small flat-bottomed plywood boat suitable for paddling. The boat is 12 feet long\, 32 inches wide\, and weighs about 40 pounds. Each boat will be completed to a watertight condition and ready to take home for paint or varnish. \nTeams are limited to a maximum of 4 people\, at least one of whom must be an adult.
