This course has been developed to enable participants to understand and apply all the steps involved in building a clinker/lapstrake dinghy. This will include critical procedures such as lofting bending ribs, planking, fitting of planks at stem and transom, use of copper nails and roves and finishing. Students will work co-operatively in groups to build the dinghy. When completed the dinghy will be available for purchase from the centre and the money raised will become part of a scholarship fund.
