EDUCATION
The Spaulding Wooden Boat Center is dedicated to informing the general public about the historic context, legacy and craft of wooden boat building and use on San Francisco Bay through public programs, exhibits, classes, workshops, special events, outreach activities and publications.
The Center also plans to introduce the general public to the experience of traditional sailing by maintaining a fleet of classic wooden boats that can be used in on-the-water public programs.
It is also committed to supporting the Arques School of Traditional Boatbuilding to train a new generation of shipwrights who are skilled in traditional methods and crafts, and are enthusiastic ambassadors for the values of hand-crafted wooden boats.
The Center also has developed and is planning future programs for local youths in woodworking, boatbuilding, boat restoration and sailing.
