Sparmaking with Clint Chase

August 5-9th, 2019 | 8:30-4pm Mon-Fri. | $750

Chase Small Craft | 959 Portland Rd | Saco, ME | 04072

After popular demand, I have added this class to my schedule. We will explore two methods of sparmaking that I have employed over the years: solid, laminated spar construction and Birdsmouth mast making. Students will take home a ready-made spar, heaps of knowledge about spars, and the confidence to make their own. Bring the family, there is plenty to do around the area.

Summer vacation can be a challenge getting all the design, building and cutting time in. Yesterday Jia came with me to the shop and spent the afternoon in Val Troyli Artist's studio doing watercolors. I nested geometry for CNC cutting. Which do you think is more satisfying?

If you haven't seen it, @offcenterharbor did a nice feature video on the #goatislandskiff I have worked with @boatmik for years and offer beautiful kits for the boat, including a yawl version. The 3rd shot is the original #GISsailing in Australia.

Fresh new #goatislandskiff mizzen brackets are available, only two left. They bolt to the transom to support the mizzen mast, turning the Skiff into a nice little #sailandoar boat. Add to existing rig or build into the new build. Thanks @ericaemoody for these.
