The instructor, Dan Sheets, is having the students design dinghies and kayaks themselves and tank testing the results. Through experimentation they arrived at four hulls they are going to build.
Today was warm and a good day for a field trip so they came up from St. Louis to visit Elsah Boat Corporation.
We had a great visit talking about wood, strip and stitch and glue construction and dogs.
I hope to see their launch day.
Let me know when it is!
what a great field trip for the class! I am sure that they learned a lot as well as having a fun time!
