CIP Program Description:
Students who select the Cruising Boat option are taught construction methods through formal lectures, field trips and hands-on projects. Students are divided into teams to build boats under the supervision of an instructor. These teams learn the comprehensive boat construction process from the loft floor all the way to the water with an eye toward quality and efficiency.
The course begins with lofting, or drawing, the parts of the boat and follows with mold-making and construction of the keel, stem and transom. The boat is then set up to form the specific hull shape to which the layers of planking are affixed.
The hull and deck are cold-molded using epoxy and a vacuum bag to ensure a high-quality laminate. Several different wood types and composite materials are incorporated into the boat based on structural and educational needs. Students then spend a substantial amount of time fairing the hull and deck to achieve an even, efficient surface.
A variety of modern, durable finishes are applied to the boat’s exterior and interior using varying techniques. Students also learn the basic components of electrical, mechanical, steering and propulsion systems that are installed on a small recreational boat.
