Over the last 15 years, CLC boatbuilding classes have launched 900 boats and introduced more than a thousand students to the joys of boatbuilding. CLC has been hosting and teaching build-your-own-boat classes since 1994. Our talented professional instructors will help you assemble your own boat from start to finish. Most classes are 5-1/2 days---a perfect one-week vacation, with your own boat to take home, ready for finish work.
Demand has grown every year as the word spreads. In 2009 we ran more than 20 classes at sites in Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, and California. Our boatbuilding school partners include the famous WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, Maine, IYRS in Newport, RI, the Wooden Boat Foundation in Port Townsend, Washington, and the Great Lakes Boatbuilding School in Cedarville, Michigan.
