Half hull models serve as traditional methods to visualize, plan, and understand a vessel’s three-dimensional design and proportions. This half hull model class teaches participants to create a scale, half-side replica of a North Carolina Shad boat’s hull. Classes provide hands-on woodworking experience by teaching techniques like transferring boat plans, cutting laminated “lifts” of wood, and carving the hull into its final shape, resulting in a finished model ready for the participant to apply the finish of their choosing at home. Class fee is $150 ($135 for Friends of the Museum, which sponsors the program). Minimum age is 16. Course size is limited, and advance registration is required.
