Building
Kayaks at the Northwest Maritime Center
a few photos from the first
class of 2012

In the cold and rainy winter my unheated shop is often less than
habitable. In these months I often travel to
teach. Sometimes the venues are merely satisfactory
so it's a real treat to be able to teach at the Northwest Maritime
Center in Port Townsend. Their workshop is
beautiful, well equipped, and bustling with boatbuilding
activity that lends and authentic feel to the
experience. Interestingly, most of my students
in this class traveled from farther than I did to attend,
including: Alaska, Illinois, New Mexico,
and Australia! Together we spent an easy week building six
kayaks, which we launched on a cold blustery morning in the
marina. The class went like clockwork and I can't imagine a
better start to my season. Thank you to the students and
the NW maritime center! Here are a few photos.
