For personal reasons, I'm taking some time away from running classes in 2023
I still have Ballistic Nylon for sale if you need it for your own builds. Or you can sign up to my newsletter, or follow me on instagram, to be notified when classes restart in 2024. Thanks, Ant.

Traditional wooden boatbuilding & restoration
"Amazing experience building my own custom kayak with Shipshape Boatbuilding & Woodwork, at the beautiful Underfall Yard in Bristol Docks. Ant is an expert teacher who patiently led us through each step: woodworking, steam-bending, lashing, stitching the skin on the frame and sealing with our own custom colours.
I can't recommend this experience enough and now I have a high performance kayak of my own"
