Restore Projects Support Our Boat Building Programs.
In addition to new-builds, the Shop occasionally takes on a restoration project that is appropriate to our curriculum. The restoration of a boat can include replanking, reframing, redecking, rebuilding a cabin, installing interior cabinetry, and completing systems work.
Past restoration projects:
- 22′ 4″ Friendship Sloop
- Dark Harbor 17
- 1946 Chris Craft Riviera
- Prudence Sloop
- Muscongus Bay Sloop
- International 500
- North Haven Dinghy
- Alton Wallace Westpointer
- J.O. Brown Rowboat
All restorations projects that are taken on as apprentice projects are carefully reviewed for their educational value. If you have a restoration project that you would like us to consider, please send as much information as possible to: info@apprenticeshop.org. We will need to know the vessel’s make, model, construction, and location. Current photos will be required. Thank you!
