We are over the moon to offer an immersive boat-building experience with a master of the craft, boat-builder Bill Thomas. This 5 1/2 day workshop takes place at Scott Farm, a historic farmstead and apple orchard just outside of Brattleboro in Dummerston, Vermont.

Participants will be building the Fox Canoe, a decked, double-paddle canoe designed for protected waters along the coast, for lakes, and for all those appealing backwaters and creeks you are always driving by and meaning to explore someday. With an 80" long cockpit, Fox is a grand boat for hunting, fishing and tripping with a dog or young child seated forward of the paddler.

Monday through Saturday, September 11-16 | 8:30am - 5:30pm (half day on Saturday)

==> Registration Deadline is Sunday, July 23.
==> No previous boatbuilding or woodworking experience required.

Learn: Students will construct their canoes using a stitch-and-glue technique. Once the plywood hull is complete, you'll learn how to apply fiberglass cloth set in epoxy resin to create a strong and waterproof shell. You'll also learn how to install seats, carlins, and other hardwood fittings to complete the canoe. Throughout the class, students will gain valuable woodworking skills and techniques while also developing an understanding of the principles of boatbuilding.
