The half-hull model is an exact, scaled representation of the hull design. Long before the advent of the lines plan, the model was the final embodiment of a master builder's new design. Under the builder's planes and chisels and gouges the idea took form. Students in this three-day class produce their own half-hull model using the same methods and tools that have been in use for centuries. A graceful and satisfying piece of marine art is a guaranteed result of this half-hull course!
