The only licensed proprietary school of its kind in the state, the GLBBS is housed in a brand new 12,000 square foot facility designed and built specifically for the teaching of woodworking, basic design, traditional and modern boat building, yacht joinery, repair, and restoration. Combine this state of the art facility with our expert instructors and professional curriculum and you have the perfect place to learn the art and craft of boat building.
