The Red Grandy - first time out in the sunshine
The newly painted and rigged 12 1/2-foot Grandy Skiff is rolled out of the shop in which it was built for the first time to prepare for its launch day.
Every boat is custom built by our students under the watchful eyes of their instructors.
The Grandy Boat Company was formely located on Lake Union in Seattle, and made many hundreds of boats both large and small during a long tenure there. These small craft are one of our most popular boats.
Our Grandy's lines were taken by our Chief Instructor, Tim Lee, from an original boat.
The Grandy's we build are usually between 11.5 and 14.5 feet long. They're lapstrake planked in western red cedar, with sapele stems, keels and transoms. Frames are White Oak or Black Locust.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA, on the Olympic Peninsula, and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.
