Build A Boat Classes

Shore History will be offering  ‘Introduction to Boatbuilding’ classes beginning on  April 4th  and ending on Wednesday May 27th. The classes will be held on Saturdays 8am-12 noon and on Wednesdays 5pm-9pm at 20 Market Street in Onancock.

Open to beginners ages 9 to 99, the program offers a rare opportunity for families, students, and adults to learn the fundamentals of wooden boat construction using plywood and epoxy—methods that create strong, lightweight boats.

Tuition for the full program is $50, and students only need to bring a pencil and clothes suitable for workshop work. Children ages 9-12 are Free accompanied by a parent.

Once completed, the boats built during the class will be raffled later this summer, with proceeds supporting Shore History and its mission to preserve and share the heritage of Virginia’s Eastern Shore.  All participants will be given a free raffle ticket for a chance to win a boat.
