Many people dream of building an own wooden boat but many of us wonder the lack of experience. Building a wooden boat is fine handicraft but at the same time it is demanding work, so different kind of boatbuilding courses are excellent places for the beginners to build the first wooden boat.

Also the materials and drawings are arranged on behalf of the course so it is easy to start the boatbuilding.
