Turning the Corner Posted by The Landing School on April 10, 2014 · 1 Comment

We don’t want to jinx ourselves but we think we’ve turned the corner and are heading towards Spring! The longer days, melting snow and wildlife activity are sure signs that we’ve made it through a very tough winter. The shops are buzzing, too, as students move into high gear to complete their projects by June 21. Hard to believe graduation is a little over two months away! But before we pass out the diplomas and degrees there are a few things still in the works.

Composite students should have two kayaks completed by tomorrow. These beauties are feather light and move like silk through the water. In Marine Systems students are working on AC panels and their modules. The panels are just about complete while the modules still have a ways to go. Right now students are working on the plumbing portion. The Wooden Boat folks are full steam ahead on building their Joel White Peapods. The smell of fresh cut wood in the shop is amazing! Students use raw curs of wood to form the mast of the peapod. The Flyfisher 22’s are moving right along. Students are working on the details of the interior so they can laminate it and outfit it with the console and hardware.
