We wanted to let you know about a rare opportunity to build your own SCAMP with her designer, John Welsford<\/a> (and two other expert instructors), in a hands-on program at the new Northwest Maritime Center on the Port Townsend Waterfront. In addition, small-boat adventurer and skills instructor, Howard Rice<\/a> will be onhand to teach practical seamanship and handling\u2014and he\u2019ll be taking students for demonstration sails on the SCAMP prototype.<\/p>\n

The course objective is to have SCAMPs fully planked with most of the interior complete, and ready to transport home for final stages. Those who wish to attend but who because of distance or other considerations may not be able to build their SCAMPs at the course are very welcome\u2014they will be rotated among the builders and will get hands on experience in all phases. For anyone just wishing to learn modern plywood boatbuilding, this is an ideal course regardless of what boat you build the time comes.<\/p>\n

Participants in this course will become members of a very exclusive club, one that we hope will be very supportive of each and all members, and we looking forward to a on-water reunion the following summer! Space is limited, so make your reservation today. Call the Boat School @ 360-385-4948.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nStudents should be familiar with their tools.
\nStudents will not use standing power tools, such as table or band saws.<\/p>\n

Education goal<\/h3>\n

Students will build their own building jig and Scamp hull during this course. Scamp takes about 160-180 hours to complete to “ready for paint,” so students will have a hull substantially complete that they can finish at home after the two-week session.<\/p>\n
