For those with no prior woodworking experience, this is an excellent opportunity to learn the fundamentals of building with wood, while those with more experience can fine tune their skills and learn applications for the specialized art of building a skin on frame boat.
Due to the personalized nature of skin boats throughout history, together we will custom design and build your boat. As a result, your boat will reflect your interests, skill level, and body size in order to maximize the performance and your enjoyment.
Whatever your level, our small class size ensures that you receive plenty of personal attention. Our simple construction methods don't require bulky frames or jigs, allowing us to run workshops off-site or to work outside on nice days.
3,500 square feet of covered spaces are completely dedicated just for skin-on-frame boat building. We start from the log and craft every component in-house.
Workshops run year-round at our facility in Anacortes, Washington.USA and at various off-site locations during the summer. Please check our calendar for locations and dates. We are excited to work with you.
