Once again I will be teaching the Building Your One Night Heron Sea Kayak class at The WoodenBoat School in Brooklin\, Maine. At the end of this 6-day class you will go home with your own Stitch and Glue Night Heron\, fully assembled and ready for sanding and varnishing. This is a fast paced learning experience where I lead you through all the steps to build your own boat.

The event starts in the Annisquam River and goes clockwise around Cape Anne\, and finishes about 20 miles later under the greasy pole in Gloucester\, MA. Some 250 boats typically participate in this event from traditional Banks Dories to 6-man Outrigger Canoes as you would expect to see in Hawaii.

You could buy an ordinary plastic kayak\, or you could build your own which will be lighter\, faster\, better looking and more fun than any you can buy. This fast-paced class will take students through the major phases of building a “Night Heron” sea kayak. Using the “Stitch-and-glue” construction method\, each student will go home with his or her own kayak. Some finish work will be required when they get home. Students will learn some basic woodworking skill as well as how to work with fiberglass and epoxy.

This is an informal gathering of people interested in homemade kayaks and other small boats.
