Our popular series of Maritime Skills Workshops will be starting up again on March 17. We will hold workshops each month on the Third Saturday of the month. We are also adding a series of Maritime Skills demonstrations on First Saturdays. In these the participants will not be producing anything themselves, though they may have the opportunity for some hands-on experience in the skill being demonstrated. In all cases the workshops and demonstrations will start at 10:00 unless otherwise stated. Some may start earlier if they are especially time-consuming, and some, for instance the oar workshop, may be continued on Sunday morning at 9:00. More information about each will be available closer to the event.
