Ever wondered what thwarts or cold moulding are?  This ‘boat beginners’ course looks at how different boats are shaped and why, terminology, construction methods, materials, propulsion, sails and rigs and rigging. Unusually for the Academy this is a classroom based course but workshop walkabouts and short strolls to the harbour and Cornish Pilot Gig shed to look at boats mean legs will be stretched regularly.
