At Chesapeake Light Craft, we build boatbuilders. And a lot of them were built in our Annapolis shop during the spring of 2013, with a string of nine build-your-own classes pumping out 14 Annapolis Wherries, a dozen Northeaster Dories, nine kayaks (Chesapeakes and Wood Ducks), six Kaholo SUP boards, and seven dinghies (Passagemakers and Eastport Prams)---and producing about 60 proud new boatbuilders in the process. Our classes usually run five and a half days; in addition to the class photo, graduates take a few new skills and some great memories---and, of course, a boat.
Here are a few photos from those classes and some cool HD timelapse videos, too.
