B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Boat)

Got a boat kicking around in your backyard that you’ve been meaning to get to, but just don’t know where to start? How about a boat you tore into and found more than you bargained for? This class is designed for do-it-yourselfers who need a jump-start on their projects. Bring your trailerable wooden boat (up to 20’) and get valuable time with professional shipwrights. Work as a group, moving from boat to boat, assessing the condition of the vessel, discussing next steps and listing materials needed for the project. It’s the perfect opportunity to ask those nagging questions about suitable wood types, fasteners, bedding compound, marine glues and finishes. You will get advice on how to begin the restoration, make repairs and move your project forward, plus whether or not you should trust your brother-in-law’s steadfast conviction in the latest “wonder-goo”. This class is great for people who want to work on their own boats, but don’t know how to begin or what to do. Participants will come away from this class with a better understanding of boats, marine products and professional restoration techniques. B.Y.O.B. Hell yeah! Great as a gift certificate! Help that special someone get their boat out of your driveway!
