Lofting Workshop

We hope our students enjoyed last weekend's Lofting Workshop as much as we did!
Lofting a boat ( even a fairly simple one) is quite intense - and as well as that we had some animated discussions about all aspects of boatbuilding and maritime interests. A most interesting way to spend three wild days in West Cork!
We had several enquiries from people who couldn't make it this time - so we are planning to run another Lofting Workshop 17-19 November. The follow-on workshop will be on pattern and mould-making as well as backbone construction. This will take place on 19 - 22 January 2012.
