Ever wanted to paddle a boat you built with your own hands? This fall, spend your evenings at Spaulding transforming raw wood into a sleek, custom Chesapeake Series Kayak — a design prized for its speed, grace, and timeless lines.
Over two weeks, you'll learn the core skills of traditional boatbuilding: precision woodworking, strip-planking, and fiberglassing — all in a relaxed, supportive shop environment perfect for first-time builders. No experience necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands a little messy.
By the end of the course, you'll walk away with a nearly complete kayak of your own — lightweight, durable, and ready for finishing touches before it hits the water.
Details:
Class size: Limited to just 5 builders for a truly hands-on, personalized experience
Cost: $1,400 (kayak kit sold separately, based on the model you choose)
Class Schedule: November 9–21, 2026: Mon–Fri: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM, Sat & Sun: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. No class Friday, November 13
