Duckworks Boatshop Takeover

Boatshop Build Workshop

March 17–April 11, 2025 | 9 AM–5 PM

Cost: $579 non-member, $529 member per week or $1,849 non-member, $1,749 member per month 

Duckworks, the fine folks that brought you the Scamp, Scout, and Portage Pram, are taking over the shop and opening up the space for you, the builder. This is an open platform workshop that allows you to choose what you want to build from Duckworks’ catalog while receiving professional guidance from the Boatshop crew.

Duckworks Boat Builders Supply is a small family business that has been helping boat builders (and others) with their needs for more than 20 years. Whether you’re starting from scratch or simply need new hardware, line, or other gear for an existing boat—Duckworks can help. They have boat plans from over 36 designers (and counting), from the smallest dinghy to ocean-going vessels. They can also help you with epoxy, fiberglass, paint, marine hardware, rope, tools, and countless other gear. This is an enthusiast-run company—they’re out there messing about in boats, just like you! As a result, they offer proprietary designs and products. 

Book by the week or join in for the whole month! Students will have the opportunity to book the time they need to complete the project they choose. Cost covers tuition only. Interested in joining the fun but need more help deciding what to build? Give us a call and we will help nail down the perfect project for you.
