The Boat Building Academy was delighted to welcome Will and Sara Stirling, of www.stirlingandson.co.uk, for a special talk. Will shared insights into their heritage-listed boatyard in Portsmouth, the design and construction of a traditional wooden sailing yacht, preparations for long voyages in extreme conditions, and their extraordinary journey through the Northwest Passage.
Sara spoke about working in the boat building industry and offered valuable advice to those interested starting their careers.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Boat Building Academy Talks. Our next event will feature Dermot Doyne, Sawmills Manager at Whitney Sawmills, this October—stay tuned for the confirmed date!
