Boatbuilding Apprentice
October 2006 - March 2007
De Bootbouw School is located in the picturesque Dutch countryside. It is a destination for people of all ages to learn traditional boatbuilding techniques.
During my time at De Booutbouw School I constructed a 17th century Dutch fishing boat for a museum in Zandaam. Tasks included setting up molds, construction of backbone, planking, frames, thwarts, spars and sails. Prepared molds and templates for the construction of the Newfoundland Trap Skiff, which was built by students in a course.
