The Great Lakes Boat Building School has two large classrooms for lectures and demonstrations. Each day starts with a lecture or demonstration by Program Director Pat Mahon or one of our visiting instructors. Here Pat explains the lofting process prior to students applying this knowledge to their own lofting project.
