Current projects: This year, four of the boys are building Oxford rowing shells. This is a wood/fibreglass kit from Chesapeake Light Craft. Three more students are working on skin-on-frame, low-seat canoes, of the type I learned to build from Hilary Russell at the Berkshire Boat Building School. I'm also about half done with an Inuit-style 'recovery' kayak, out of the Robert Morris book. Having to chose between building a larger steam box (to make the cockpit rim) or laminating, and surrounded by epoxy, I've opted to go new-fashioned and make by rim by the later method. If I can find time, I'd also like to build a more authentic coracle than my plywood-epoxy version.
