WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Unlock the craft of lofting in this immersive five-day course. Starting from a blank grid, you’ll learn to plot offsets, draw smooth, fair lines, and confidently cross-reference half-breadths with body plans—bringing a set of boat drawings to life at full scale.
As the week progresses, you’ll transform theory into practice, creating accurate patterns, templates, and moulds ready for construction. What once seemed complex and mysterious will become a clear, logical process you can rely on.
Whether you’re completely new to boatbuilding or looking to refine your existing skills, this course will fundamentally change how you read, interpret, and work from boat plans.
