Boatbuilding Techniques in Stand-up Paddleboard Construction

Starts Thursday February 19
Eight consecutive Thursday sessions
6:30-9:00 PM
CABBS Workspace
3535 Perkins Ave., CSU / Asiatown neighborhood

Limit:  10 participants

Learn the basics of small boat construction by building a Stand Up Paddleboard (“SUP”). Your class will learn and practice techniques commonly used to build classic wooden boats. You will learn – hands on – how to “stitch and glue” thin plywood panels together using wire, epoxy and fiberglass tape and how to encapsulate and bond parts using epoxy. Building the deck will introduce the participants to “cedar strip construction”. At the end of the class the finished SUP can be purchased for a materials surcharge.
