Hull Week 2020

Thank you to our community for showing up and making Hull Week a huge success!

Follow along this boat school student’s journey from the traditional boatbuilding program to marine systems to a career in the boat yard. Damien shares his journey and reminds us all to remain passionately curious.

We recognize this has been a challenging time for everyone and now more than ever we need community. Since we had to cancel our spring Gala, Hull Week was the school’s biggest fundraising event of the year. Thanks to you the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building will continue to build on our shared mission to teach and preserve boatbuilding and marine systems skills while developing the individual as a craftsperson. It takes many hands to build a boat and it takes a community to support the trades. Thank you for your support. Also, it’s not too late to contribute!

The talent of the school’s boatbuilding and marine systems instructors and students is evident in this recently completed Poulsbo boat. Real-world projects like this are carefully selected by instructors to serve as strong teaching platforms: after its construction by the Traditional Boatbuilding students, the Marine Systems students then completed the project by designing and installing the diesel engine, steering and controls and electrical system. Meet the instructors who oversaw the project to get a glimpse into student’s experiences here at the NWSWB. From planking to electrical systems, the Poulsbo represents a symbiosis of hands-on education that’s keeping traditions alive while meeting the needs of the trades.

Hull Week culminated with a live Paddle Raise via Zoom on Friday the 30th. While we all missed being able to come together to share food, drink and stories it was wonderful to have an opportunity to share the event with so many people from far and wide, including folks from 20 states and four different countries. If you weren’t able to make it, you can view the YouTube stream of the night here:
