Building a Sharpie Skiff

Project Coordinator: 'Hank' Maust
September - November
Days and times to be arranged

Tuition: Tuition: $75. per 'team' (2 persons)
Limit of 3 teams

During this course we will be completing the Raul Parker adaptation of a traditional sharpie skiff, started in the Fall of 2004. This boat will be used by Bellport Bay Sailing Foundation in its Environmental History Adventure Camp in the summer of 2008 and will also serve as the nucleus of the Maritime Center's Boat Livery. The project is designed to give participants the experience of working with traditional materials, white cedar and oak, on a traditional design such as was common in our area a hundred years ago.
