CIP Program Description:
Students who select the Small Boat option are taught construction methods through formal lectures, field trips and hands-on projects. Students are divided into teams to build several small boats under the supervision of an instructor. These teams are responsible for all aspects of construction from lofting to sea trials.
There are two boat construction projects during the year. One construction project is a small (13´ to 16´) epoxy-glued lapstrake boat. Students loft, or draw, these craft at their full size in order to develop the shapes and angles needed to build the stem, keel and molds. Each team of builders constructs a mold, planks a boat, builds and installs all parts—rudder, keel, tiller, breasthooks, spars etc. Students also fit out the boat with hardware and rigging and paint and/or varnish the interior and exterior.
The second construction project teaches an alternative building method, carvel construction. The boats are built using carvel planking on steam-bent frames.
While boat models vary from year to year, the building materials typically include white pine, Western red cedar, white oak, mahogany, Sitka spruce, ash and marine plywood complemented with bronze fasteners and hardware.
