Introduction to Half-Model Construction
Learn the basics of half-hull construction by carving your own model of a classic sailboat. Following a demonstration of the basic techniques used to build a waterline-lift model, you'll begin working on your own model. Discussions of techniques, materials, tools and finishes continue throughout the day as you work to complete your project. This class will teach you the foundations of a new hobby. At the end of the day, you'll go home with a new family heirloom! Class size is limited to seven students (minimum five).
