Beale Park Boat Show

The Boat Building Academy's summer got off to a great start with Beale Park Boat Show on the Thames at Pangbourne. Again this year we had a marquee and a pontoon, where we exhibited ten student boats.  Past, present and future students joined us for three days of rowing and sailing in this year's blazing sunshine.  Children and dogs had a great time too.

Class of September 2009 Launch Day

On the afernoon of Wednesday 9th June 2010, boats built on the long course of September 2009 were launched into Lyme Regis Harbour. After two days of heavy rain, the clouds lifted and the sun shone as families and friends of students and the BBA staff gathered on the slipway to celebrate the end of the course. Tim Gedge launched the proceedings with a short speech, commending the students for their outstanding efforts and teamwork, before the boats were launched into the water one-by-one.
