A student at the Wooden Boat School in Brooklyn, Maine, learns traditional lapstrake and carvel boatbuilding techniques over a ten-day course.1:57 Instruction focuses on building glued lapstrake Whitehall rowboats, covering skills such as sharpening chisels, chopping a rabbit, and steam-bending oak knees for thwarts.3:59 The curriculum includes scarfing marine-grade plywood to extend plank length, spiling planks using hot-glued templates, and fairing hulls by eye.10:00 Students also install mahogany inwales, cut compound bevels for quarter knees, and fit thwarts using tick sticks.24:42 The course concludes with an introduction to carvel planking, which requires precise tolerances for butt-jointed planks and caulking seams.29:35 Practical experience is supplemented by daily sailing sessions on the school’s fleet, including a boat named Skylark.22:47 The training provides specific methods for restoring a wooden vessel, particularly in correcting hull shape and fairing curves. Mastering these joinery and planking techniques allows for the structural repair of aging wooden hulls.
