Cold Molded Boat Building
Subject: Boat Building & Repair
John Guzzwell has championed cold molded boatbuilding and has proved that it is an excellent way to build. The class will build a John Atkin design, a 6'6" pram called Petey Dink. Students will learn the methods used to develop shapes from plans, with some simple lofting demonstrations. They will then move on to the actual construction of the boat, making the keel assembly, transom and bow, and then planking over the mold with three layers of 1/16" veneer. Students will also have an opportunity to work on completing a hull built in a previous workshop, building and installing laminated knees and adding internal stiffeners and seats, etc. The finished boat will weigh about 50 lbs. and will be built using Wonderbond, which is a modified PVA glue (NO EPOXY!).

The Center for Wooden Boats offers an opportunity to experience the dimensions of an earlier time, to put your hands on the oars of a graceful pulling boat or the tiller of a traditional wooden catboat. With help from master craftsmen, you can learn to steambend an oak frame, cast an oarlock, sew a canvas ditty bag, splice a line or caulk a seam. The Center for Wooden Boats is a hands on maritime museum. Its purpose is to preserve our rich, vital and varied small craft heritage by preserving both the artifacts and the time-tested maritime skills. Our aim is to provide an educational adventure, through participation, in our small craft heritage.
