Boats under construction!
In November the four student teams completed their half-models, lofting, and then set up molds to begin construction of the boats.
The backbones went together quickly for the smaller boats, the Gartside and the Catspaw, and they moved on to begin the lapstrake cedar planking.
The two larger boats have somewhat reversed construction methods, with more elaborate frames to build before planking begins. The big dory's hybrid construction (combination of plywood bottom and cedar planked topsides) is a learning experience for all. (Tad Roberts)
