Boatbuilder-in-Residence
Some days it's noisy with the sound of hammers. Other times, all you hear is the quiet swish of a razor-sharp plane cutting through cedar. Some days, like when planking is being steamed for bending, the air is perfumed with the smells of cedar and linseed oil. Whatever the experience, there's always something going on in the Stone Building when our Boatbuilder-in-Residence is working.
This is a boat shop with a difference: not only can you ask questions, but we actually wish you would. The Stone Building is where you'll find Museum Volunteers working on a 1946 Gar Wood Ensign runabout, constructing two new Shellback sailing dinghies and any number of other projects.
