CONVERSATION with Falmouth High School woodworking teacher, Bob Leary
Preserving Our Wooden Boat building Heritage
Mr. Leary will talk about the Woods Hole Historial Museum Boat Outreach program, boat building for the beginner, and Falmouth High School's boat building programs. "When I was transferred back to the high school in 2002 to take over the woodworking program I saw my chance to start building boats with kids during the day and adults in night school," says Leary. He is one of the mainstays in the Boat Outreach Program held every Saturday morning at the Woods Hole Historical Museum where a Thompson skiff is now underway. In July, Leary will conduct a three day workshop on Family Boat building (July 24, 25 26) at the Museum.

Visit of the catboat SARAH
The catboat Sarah is coming to town! This 23 foot long reproduction 1886 Crosby cat, built at the Cape Cod Maritime Museum in Hyannis will be sailing into Woods Hole in the last week in August. On Friday August 29, we will be hosting her and Mark Wilkins, Director of the CCMM and chief builder of the Sarah, in an open house at WHOI's Redfield dock, followed by a talk about her construction by Mark at 3 PM in the Woods Hole Library, followed by a reception in our courtyard. Do come! (n.b. Our own Gerald Ross, known more widely for his tiny ships-in-bottles, was one of the chief assistant boat builders on the Sarah project.)
