Solving Problems -CHAD

Marking the waterline with the help of a laser level.

Today, we we put a level waterline on a curved surface. We used a level, tape measures, pencils, batons, and a laser. It was awesome! We learned that in life you come across problems that you must solve.

Filling in the voids. -Urban Promise

This week we used putty to fill in the seams of the boat. We also used a mix of beeswax and rosin powder to fill in all the screw holes. We accomplished a lot by our strong effort of teamwork. I had a blast! :)

Late Winter Row! -CHAD

The CHAD seniors joined us yesterday to take advatage our unseasonably warm Monday afternoon for a late winter row. Getting out in the fresh air did everyone a world of good and made for a nice introduction to the world of rowing.

 The day also marked the unofficial launch of our new dory which was powered by oars made by Wooden Boat Factory Students.

We learned about caulking the seams of boats with cotton and how to tie a bowline knot to help tie down boats or to tie a rescue knot.
