Participants in the Boatbuilders Employment Preparation Training Program (phew – what a name!) are making good progress with the 13-foot-bottom Handline dory they are building.

By end of day today, they should have her just about planked up. Which will look nice as folks join us for tomorrow afternoon’s Shutter Plank celebration out in the boatyard; 2 p.m. alongside the twin schooners!

By Monday it will be time for the class to head to the knee pile to start picking out and shaping the boat’s frames.
