Spend a week with me and learn how to build a boat like a professional. We will set up the strongback, build the jig with molds, stem, transom, and bulkheads, and plank the hull of the CIY. You will learn two planking methods in one hull and all sorts of skills from hand tool use to boatbuilding skills. Class on Sat is 1/2 day to allow for travel.

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.
