Wooden Boat School, Maine

Gary has been up in Maine all month, teaching at the Wooden Boat School. The restoration classes there have spent the last 5 years restoring this 1953 17 ft Chris Craft Sportsman.

Sportsman

Caity's been working on a Sportsman here in the shop too. She's building up coats of varnish on the new ceiling boards. She and Jack have continued to work on fitting, repairing, and installing the deck planking.

Concordia Sloop

Shane has been working on the new seat pieces. They're getting painted this week.

Super Sport

Shane and Jack steam bent new bottom planks to place the rotten ones.

Flats Boat

Shane has been working on these inset hatches. They are painted white to match the deck. It's all going to look so clean and fresh when it's done!

Lyman Islander

Jack has stained and sealed this engine box. It's so sturdy and absolutely gorgeous.
