Half-models and Lofting
October 16, '06
It's half-way through October and the 06-07 Wooden Boatbuilding students are building half-models and beginning lofting. The teams are starting to work together as they lay down the first, full-size lines of the boat they will build this winter and launch next April. Some of the half-models are about finished while others will be completed over the next few weeks. But boatbuilding excitement is in the air when one enters the shop, decisions on type and quantity of materials are being made, construction details are being modified, lines are being adjusted as they are drawn on the floor, and each boat team is taking on character.
Next week the molds will be under way, exciting times!
