2006 Projects Archive-Boats
April 15, '06
Launch Day
The last week of Boatbuilding 2005/2006 was busy for all. Final painting, varnish, oiling, and rigging went steadily and by Friday afternoon everything but a few small rigging chores was complete.
The Launch day and Maritime Festival on Saturday started out wet and then got wetter and windier. Nevertheless four boat were launched on time and all had a short sea trail before everyone took refuge in the resort for a great celebration.
The successful completion of another Boatbuilding course, another four boats, and the commencement of some promising careers in boatbuilding owes everything to instructors Al Brunt and Trevor Henderson, Manager Les Jackson, and hard work by all students. Thanks and congratulations.
