Wood Island Boat Building ELO at Traip Academy 

Sixteen students signed up for this ELO.  In addition to Graham McKay master boat builder from Lowell’s Boat Shop and Peter Stockless from Stockless Oars in York, two more volunteers joined us this semester.  As a result, we were able to complete the build of the first boat on June 6th.  The boat also traveled to the Piscataqua Riverfest on June 4th to be displayed with other small wooden boats built in the Seacoast area.
