Aleut Building workshop in May, 2008 at the Skin Boat School in Anacortes. Each of these skin-on-frame kayaks were shaped differently for the individual.
Each participant made the design choices for thir own skill level,
horsepower, and style. No jigs or forms are ever used. Build for the
person not a formula. The Skin Boat School, located at 4744 Welch Lane,
is celebrating its 17th year. More than 1,200 students have gone there from all over the world.
Corey Freedman's in-depth experience makes for a relaxed and
comfortable environment. For those with no prior woodworking
experience, the school is an excellent opportunity to learn the
fundamentals of building with wood, while those with more experience
can fine tune their skills and learn applications for the specialized
art of building a skin-on-frame boat.
