I'm teaching at the Duckflat Autumn School
10 boats 12 students - all off to a flying start.
Most are from interstate. Varying levels of skill. Most haven't built a boat before.
I will post more info here a bit later. Most boats are Oughtred - one Storer Eureka, a Lillistone Pheonix III and a beautiful Liz Rowing scull.
The last is like a bit of jewellery.
It is well worth seeing - goes until Thursday or Friday next week - visits welcome 9 to 4 (so we have time to tidy up before and after.
Boatbuilder heaven.
Anyway more later.

I'll add a lot more each day and will gradually add some comments.
David Wilson did a neat little workshop demo of using heavy biaxial glass - but I missed the pics

Boats being built at the
.
The Oughtred's Guillemot
Shearwater
Gannet
Acorn 15 Rowboat - stretched to 17ft
Fulmar - bulkheads, strongback etc are being made up and taken back to Perth as a flat-pack on a trailer
A Lillistone Phoenix 3
Storer Eureka Canoe
An old putt putt is being restored
A Bassett Liz a fine rowboat is being built
Some bits for a Hartley 21
The owner is using a foiled centreboard and rudder for the performance advantage they offer. Also making the centrecase so he has the techniques necessary for building the boat.
All the pictures are here
