There is no experience needed.

Boat-building is like a chain of small but easy tasks to fulfill. It’s nice way to learn many skills.

We build wooden boats, mostly pulling (rowing) boats and canoes. Sometimes we can make also a sailing boat during a longer project.

In general the number of people working on a boat is not more than eight. Usually those people do different tasks to realize the building of one boat.

Just dress some old clothes that will be fine.

We use marine plywood and solid wood, such as oak, ash, maple and cedars.

We are building small boats and we use the basic woodworking tools like chisels, saws, drawknives, planes.

We also use electric tools like jigsaws, drills, routers and orbital sanders.

Sometimes it’s necessary to use personal safety equipment. Particularly when you are working with electric tools. To protect you are eyes and ears for example, or gloves, for your hands during the painting.

We have this equipment available for every course.
