The Landing School Wooden Boats - The Acorn Skiff and Joel White Peapod

Maine has a wonderful boat building history that is captured in each of these boats. Built by Wooden Boat Building students at The Landing School, each boat is built entirely by hand, right down to the steam-bent planks and hand-milled masts. The Small Boat option within the Wooden Boat Building Program instructs students in the construction of both traditional and modern boats using wood as the principal material. The curriculum prepares students to work with traditional or modern vessels. A graduate can assume a career as a boat builder, boat repairer, boat restoration professional, joiner or finishworker.
