BUILDERS' CORNER' OF THE CENTRAL PARK MODEL YACHT CLUB
Building and sailing one's own boat is where model yachting all began. Luckily, it's a craft that hasn't totally disappeared. Stop by Kerbs Boathouse and you'll find many fine examples of boats that were hand-crafted by CPMYC members, some of wood, others of high-tech materials like fiberglass. If you're a builder, or would like to give it a shot, we're happy to share tips and resources, and help point you in the right direction.
Or if you're interested in classes on building a vintage-style pond yacht, some members have taken courses at the Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, Maine. This is cool - watch a hull get built at WBS in four minutes.
