WOODEN BOAT RESTORATION CLASS
April 12th - May 24th

Come check out our newest offering from Bonneville School of Sailing . . . if you are thinking of fixing up an old sailboat or power boat, just want to learn more about care for your own wooden boat or would like to tackle a complete restoration of a classic wooden runabout or sailboat, we've got the classes for you.
Bonneville's boat building instructor DeWitt Smith will be teaching techniques and ‘tips from the trades’ of wooden boat repair and restoration.
Classes are being offered in three parts; you can enroll in one, two or all three segments. Our classroom now has three project craft: 1963 Chris Craft Sportsman 17 (a mahogany planked inboard engine runabout) and two Star class 22’ keelboat sailboats.
