Turn over time must be party time!
This is a 'Sister Ship' Warlock,one of our own in house builds.
Team work by a large group of students went well,they will have all learnt valuable multi tasks as they worked.
The BCMS build of a Didi Mini Transat hull from CKD Boats show their success in the hull turning.
We have seen a lot of requests for this very popular design,a question often asked by the buyer is simply 'Can I build this boat,as I have no experiance in boat building' this word 'boat building' should be replaced with 'Kit Assembly'with your plans you find a very good builders guide from the designer Dudley Dix,a CD Rom from ourselves with lots of our own build pictures on,plus support from both Dudley and myself should you think your stuck at any stage.Basicaly you have to learn to do a number of tasks,cut plywood panels out with a Jig Saw,fit and remove Posi Drive Screws with a Power Driver,use a Belt Sander,mix glues and apply glass tapes and cloth,you will also have to master the use of a Level,this is not Rocket Science stuff and once each task has been mastered,its just a repeat job a number of times over.
The picture shows students at BCMCS,USA,they built one of our kits and did it very well,I suspect the boat was dry built any number of times,so each student could learn the skills that they could use later in life,once each had mastered each stage,they could glue the Stringers or Ply Panels on to the boat,then move on to the next stage,eventually any number of students would learn what would be usefull life skills.
