Sydney Wooden Boat School

Sean Curtis Gallery | June 16, 2016

David Payne designed rowing skiff

The School exhibited at lots of shows in the 1990's, this in the International Boat Show Darling Harbour

We exhibited at all the early Wooden Boat Festivals

Including the first few in Hobart

The Sydney Wooden Boat School at Mortlake 1993-1996

At Mortlake we produced over 50 boats in 3 1/2 years from 6' to 26'. At one stage I counted 29 boats on site

The School produced a number of Iain Oughtred designs, this is a 10' Robin traditionally planked in White Beech
