UCONN Maritime Studies professor Matt McKenzie and his students visited the JGTSCA boat house to learn more about traditional small craft.

A big thank you to all JGTSCA members who participated. Excellent presentations by
everyone. The students will long remember:
  • Carl Kaufman: Explaining the two ways to build a boat: from a log, or a pile of planks.
  • Brian Cooper: His journey from first kayak to fabric on frame to current plank on frame skiff.
  • Henk Hoets: A detailed description of measuring and documenting boats, both by hand and with computer assistance.
  • Peter Vermilya: Who took us thru the evolution of Fishing Craft from Shallops to Schooners.
