This class will use historic design data by N. G. Herrshoff (MIT class of 1870) from the Hart Nautical Collections – MIT Museum. NGH is widely considered the worlds greatest yacht designer. You will be guided in the fine art of wood carving by master shipwright and designer Harold Burnham (http://boatbuildingwithburnham.blogspot.com/)
Burnham designs by carving half-hull models in a similar way as NGH created all his famous yacht designs. A concurrent class on traditional drafting will be making lines plans of the same design. An incredible opportunity to fully experience traditional boat design. Also included is a curator led tour of the famous Hart Nautical design collections.
