Tips – Workshop

Our club undertook a series of six workshops several years ago to to build two boats – the Motor Yacht Scarbh and the pleasure craft Pilot 40. Both boats were built from scratch using the plank and frame method over a building board. Click on the links below are reports and images from each workshop:

• Workshop #1 – Deciding on the boats to be built
• Workshop #2 – Drawings and materials
• Workshop #3 – Framing and planning the planking
• Workshop #4 – Fine tuning the hull and start of planking
• Workshop #5 – Planking completed and sanding continues
• Workshop #6 – Fibreglassing the hull
