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.

Lots of learning today on my beautiful, MultiCam. It's amazing how many details there are to get right, but luckily I have the persistence of an Ox and the detail orientation of a....(insert name of animal that is detail oriented...thoughts?) Guess which one of these images is not a daggerboard! When that deranged image came up on the keypad, I knew it wasn't quite prime time even after all the programming. Lots of patience, problem solving and great support from @multicameast ...maybe tomorrow will have a carved daggerboard foil. This one a simple shape modeled after the ones done by @boatmik for his boats #CNCRouting
