Boat Building
Experience ID: 205
A thorough, once in a lifetime opportunity to imagine, design, craft and build your very own boat. An intensive, interactive and very rewarding project. With your imagination and a huge amount of template designs to implement, the boat will be one of a kind, nothing else quite like it. You will have an expert to assist you in every step of the way to help you achieve your ideal boat. With many years of experience in building boats they will teach you everything you need to know and more. The only thing that stands between you and the water is time. Build the boat at your own leisure, piecing together each part perfectly. Then stand back and admire your creation; personalise your boat with that extra touch by giving it a name; then finally you can take it on its maiden journey over the seas. A fulfilling activity which results in a permanent memento.
During your experience you´ll develop practical skills and you will receive advice for a specific project or simply take your hobby onto a whole new level. You could spend a few days by the sea in interesting surroundings while you learn something new.

Why build my own boat?
It can be a very rewarding and relaxing experience and also, in most cases you will get better value for money than just simply buying a ready-made boat.
How long will it take to build a boat?
The time varies depending on the model you have chosen to build and of course, your skills. For example, a kayak can take from 40 to 100 hours to complete.
What specific materials do I need for the class?
You may receive a list that includes all the products you will need to put together your project, including epoxy glue, lumber and the epoxy used to encapsulate the boat for protection.
How skilled should I be to take a class?
No experience is necessary for this activity. Normally classes have a variety of skills and backgrounds available but most of them can be adapted to first time boat builders.
