Big Boat

Bringing a new boat into the shop always requires planning ahead. The shop is cleared, tools pushed back, other boats cleared out of the way and lots of volunteers come to watch and help.

Richardson sled

We're bringing in a 1929 29' Richardson tomorrow. It's going to be a tight squeeze as we bring a 9'6" boat in through a 9'10" opening. Jeff is constructing a sled to support the boat as we slide it into the shop. It really looks like it's about to take flight.

Finishing Touch

Bob Munson adding the last coat of paint to his sneakbox. This boat was rebuilt by the student program last year. For more pix of her sailing in this years Wooden Boat Festival, check out the Workshop FB page.

New boat coming in... looking forward to it... it will be a tight squeeze thru the doors.
