This new course is an evolution of last years' Lofting the Tech Dinghy class. Master boatwright David Corcoran will review last years lofting (the scaling of a boat's lines plan to full-size) and teach hopeful boat builders the tricks to develop all the patterns and molds needed to build the Tech Dinghy. This is a great opportunity to learn an essential segment of translating plans to the construction process from a top craftsman. On Friday the 31st the class can take a guided tour of "Fame", a 50' War of 1812 Privateer being built now at the Burnham Shipyard in Essex, MA. Co-sponsored by the Department of Architecture.
