SUMMARY:SCALLYWAG CAMP 2024
DESCRIPTION:SCALLYWAG\, John Welsford’s newest creation\, will be the second group build and again perhaps the fastest way to get on the water regardless of your boat building skill level. Be one of the first to build SCALLYWAG with the assistance of the designer and Howard Rice. Both gents are highly skilled and you will not only have their undivided attention as you build together but you will also have the chance to drive away with a highly accurate hull to finish. Then help from these two doesn’t stop there\, online support\, phone video discussions are part of our commitment to help you get on the water! The build will take place in the Great Lakes at a boat shop on an 80 acre estate with housing for builders just a stones throw away. Contact Howard at thepocketyacht@gmail.com\, thepocketyacht.com \n  \nLodging\nThe build site is on an 80 acre private home estate and our hosts offer their home for builders. There are three bedrooms available so please let us know if you would like one. There is also superb camping on site and both instructors plan to camp. If you wish to pitch a tent let us know. The bathroom\, kitchen and shower facilities in the house are shared by everyone. \nWhen\nSCALLYWAG Camp is scheduled to begin at 8am on Monday morning June 24th\, and concludes mid day on July 5th. Builders are welcome to move their tools into the shop on June 23rd between 12 noon and 5pm. Lodging will be available starting June 23rd.\n \nWork Days\nThe build begins on day one with a short orientation session to help familiarize each builder with the build process and management of the shop space. Each work day will begin at 8am and end at 5pm unless we are having too much fun and decide push on into the evening. Lunch is an hour at noon. Each lunch break will be an opportunity for the group to engage in a small boat chalk talk by the build instructor pertaining to the boats being built\, small boat use or other related topics\, which builders request.  \n** Birds Mouth Mast Option **\nOne of the elements of the SCALLYWAG build that seems a bit daunting to builders is the construction of a hollow\, tapered birds mouth mast. Last year before the 2023 SCAMP Camp the option was offered to produce masts during the Camp by working some evenings. As it turned out everyone enrolled selected the option and masts were built during the build. This option is being offered again in 2024 at a cost of $950. This cost covers the cost of materials including Sitka Spruce\, epoxy\, fillers and the instructors time. By any measure it is a bargain. Please select this option if interested as materials need to be sourced prior to the build. \nBoat Trailer\nYou will need to bring a trailer for your new boat. It is suggested that a galvanized steel boat trailer is the most economical and actually perfectly suited for carrying your new boat. Any trailer with adjustable fore and aft bunks will work. A trailer with a long tongue makes it easy to back up while launching and retrieving.

SUMMARY:Dutch Wooden Boat Festival
DESCRIPTION:In 2024 we will do it again and again at the same time as the Jutterhaven Days. Those who ‘didn’t know anything’ about the previous festival and were a bit surprised: put on your brave shoes and COME! Above all\, feel welcome! \nOur new Festival will also take place at Willemsoord in Den Helder. \n  \nWhat is the Dutch WoodenBoat Festival? \nThe Dutch WoodenBoat Festival was first held in July 2019 as a Dutch festival for wooden boats. \nThis festival is not only an ode to the centuries-long wooden boat building tradition that boosted our economic development\, but also to the warm feelings that many enthusiasts get when they see… \nWhat is there to do? \nSeeing and ‘experiencing’ wooden boats and everything related to them; meeting like-minded builders and paddlers\, admiring all the beauty on and out of the water; exhibitors with various products related to wooden ships; presentations\, speakers while enjoying food and music.\nThere is an ABBA\, the Amateur Boat Construction Award. A boat is even being worked on. The boat building schools do demonstrations.\nWe want a second hand market on Saturday\, model builders at the weekend\, youth activities? \nIn addition to this festival\, there are also the Jutterhaven Days on Saturday and Sunday: a nice market with old crafts\, street theater\, music\, catering\, a nice initiative by Willemsoord BV. \nFriday starts with the annual Botterrace\, for the 15th time in 2024. Check out the Heldersebotters.nl website \nHow can I register? \nIt is a low budget event\, but participants with a boat or companies that want a stand must register by sending an email to bert.van.baar@kpnmail.nl. \nVisitors have free access everywhere\, along the quays in the halls\, the workshops and they can possibly visit the ships after approval by the owner.
