Boatbuilding & Restoration
MAKE IT IN CLAYTON!
As the saying goes, "experience starts when you begin," so why not get a start on that project you've always wanted to do? We're always developing new boatbuilding and restoration classes. So watch this page for the latest offerings!
FAMILY BOATBUILDING
Imagine rowing a boat you built yourself! Want something fun and creative to do with your family or friends? Participate in Family Boatbuilding. Over the course of a week you and your group (whoever it may be, from children to grandparents, church groups or scout packs) will learn the basics of boatbuilding while constructing your own boat to take home. We use a kit for the "Cottage Skiff," a classic 11'6" flat-bottomed design. This sturdy skiff is a perfect starter boat for people looking to learn how to build and is also an ideal craft for exploring creeks, shorelines, and getting young boaters on the water. The Antique Boat Museum provides everything needed for the course including expert advice and hands-on help every step of the way. By the end of the course, you and your family will launch and row your completed skiff.
2010 Date: July 5-9
Time: 9am to 4pm
Tuition: $1250 per boat
* You may also contact us about setting up a boatbuilding program for your business, retirement, youth, or church group.
